BOLD INNOVATING

CREATIVE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT & INFRASTRUCTURE

Since 2015, we’ve committed to engaging high school age students in our Arts Immersion Fellows program. Through this year-long pre-professional program, students learn all aspects of a career in arts creation, production, and administration. In 2022, we re-launched the program, providing local teens with their first opportunities to engage with each other in-person since the lockdown.

Our Teaching Artist Training Program entered its third year, welcoming ten dance artists to study the Mark Morris Dance Group teaching methodology and build formal teaching practices, receiving mentorship from seasoned faculty. Our Dance Accompaniment Training Program, which launched in 2016 with the Center for Ballet and the Arts at New York University, continued its innovative program training and providing practical experience for musicians, further legitimizing dance accompaniment as a viable and much needed profession within the music and dance industries. The program provided a five-day workshop and trained ten musicians.

Dance for PD® launched the Lucy Bowen Award for Inclusive Choreography, supporting the creation, rehearsal, and performance of an original work of choreography developed in collaboration with and publicly performed by people living with Parkinson’s.

We also made important investments in strengthening our technological infrastructure, engaging a multiservice provider to support IT management and providing all staff with ongoing cyber-security training.

5 Year Comparison

We were able to take advantage of several Federal Stimulus COVID-19 Economic Relief programs, including Paycheck Protection Program loans, the Earned Revenue Credit, and the Shuttered Venue Operator Grant. These funds were critical in enabling us to rebuild operations, continue paying our staff and dancers, cover ongoing operating expenses like utilities and cleaning costs, as well as deficits across multiple fiscal years.
