Do You Dare To Imagine?


We have
been letting our imagination rule for sixteen years, doing more with less. A small presenting arts organization without a venue of our own and minimal resources, we have presented, promoted and advanced the careers of thousands of dance makers through the highly successful, unique and vital cultural programs we have created.  We dared to imagine that the tiny ‘dancenow’ program of the Soho multi-arts festival would evolve into a premiere event of the New York dance season, offering the ‘best of the best’ at New York City’s preeminent modern dance theater – Dance Theater Workshop.  We dared to take dance to Joe’s Pub, where the very limitations of this hip music venue has been the inspiration for artists to take a creative leap and where the intimacy of the space creates a level of excitement and a visceral experience that has done much to grown new and enthusiastic audiences for dance. We dared to imagine that the Silo Artist Residency on Kirkland Farm in Pennsylvania would become a haven for hundreds of artists, as well as provide paid teaching opportunities and commissions to create new work for the students at DeSales University, with whom we have partnered since 2007.

We thank you in advance for supporting our work.
Robin, Sydney and Tamara
