As members of the Isthmus Dance Collective, we recognize that we live, work, and dance on stolen Native land. We recognize and respect Indigenous Peoples as traditional stewards of this land and the enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous Peoples and their traditional territories. We acknowledge the original inhabitants and caretakers of this land: Primarily the HoChunk, as well as the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, Myaamia, Sauk, Meskwaki, Peoria, and Kiikaapoi people who were forcibly removed from the region.
“To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on, and a way of honoring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. It is important to understand the long standing history that has brought you to reside on the land, and to seek to understand your place within that history. Land acknowledgements do not exist in a past tense, or historical context: colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to build our mindfulness of our present participation. It is also worth noting that acknowledging the land is Indigenous protocol.”

Isthmus Dance Collective (IDC) aims to provide greater access to dance opportunities on the individual, inter-organizational, and community levels in ways that are sustainable for the artists and high impact for the arts community in the Madison area and beyond. Members of IDC work cooperatively in a non-hierarchical manner to provide accessible and inclusive dance education and outreach, performances, and to promote dance dialogue in the community.
The Isthmus Dance Collective is a cooperatively organized nonprofit organization. Our collective is modeled on a hybrid of several types of cooperative or collective organizational structures, primarily a consumer and a worker cooperative. IDC members contribute to the operations of the organization, monetarily and through service work.The pooling of our resources allows us to provide our member artists with better access to rehearsal space, physical training, continued education, music, insurance, and more. It also creates a space for dance artists in our community to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and push the art of dance to develop in ways that serve the betterment of ourselves, the community, and the world.
As a democratically-run collective, all of our members have an equal say and an equal vote. We are dedicated to listening and to a mindset for continually re-evaluating whether all of our members are being seen and heard. This micro-culture is an important part of our decision-making, our commitment to diversity, and our desire to collaborate.

Program Note:Hope Suspended is a piece I made in early 2019 after the birth of my first child. I was flooded with a mix of love, wonder in the complete trust and fearlessness she displayed, and anxiety that was worse than I had the ability to comprehend. This piece is an expression of the battle I felt inside over the extreme emotional juxtapositions I was experiencing. Bask I made earlier this year after the birth of my twins. Originally the skateboards were used as a potential vehicle for creating a grassy landscape that could change throughout the piece, but as things developed and our use of the skateboards expanded, our ability to use the grass set pieces I created became increasingly difficult and my attachment to that visual component faded. Bask takes inspiration from the movement and imagery of my three children - the way the twins snuggled as wombmates, Zosime meeting them and kissing them goodnight, Zosime’s improvised dances, the startle reflex, learning to crawl, and seeing the three of them delight in playing together.
