Impact Report 2022

LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 2022 was indeed a bold year. We are so grateful to have you by our side, honoring 41 years of Mark Morris’ choreographic mastery and prolific creativity, and celebrating 20 years of innovative, worldclass arts education and engagement at the Mark Morris Dance Center.

Mark’s new and remounted masterworks continued to provide joy and inspiration to people across the world. And, it was deeply meaningful for us to re-open our doors to welcome our community, as well as invest in key technological innovations to continue essential online programming.

We’re particularly proud of the resilience of our company. Our teams continually navigated the challenges and risks of rebuilding amid COVID-19 and the changing economic climate to fulfill our mission. Program and operations staff kept our community and each other healthy and safe. Dancers often stepped into new roles with a moment’s notice to ensure the shows could go on.

Impact Report 2022

We prioritized rebuilding our programs and our employee base, ending the year with 200 dancers, musicians, administrators, and arts workers. We incorporated inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility strategies, implementing new hiring processes, creating

clear policies, providing anti-bias training for hiring managers, and using best-practices and strategies for prioritizing diversity in our workplace. We recognize this work as ongoing and plan to review these processes and evolve.

We are honored to be leaders in the greater cultural ecosystem, contributing to the economic recovery of our beloved Brooklyn as well as the performing arts sector as a whole. This year, we are particularly proud of our partnership with local and national arts networks: Cultural Solidarity Fund, Dance/USA, the Downtown Brooklyn Arts Alliance, and Museum Arts and Culture Access Consortium.

We look forward to another BOLD year ahead with you.

WATER Supporting Mark Morris in the creation and production of new works is central to our mission.

On September 25, 2021, Morris premiered Water, a new work set to George Frideric Handel’s Water Music at Brooklyn Bridge Park, free for audiences. Water made its onstage debut at our West Coast home of Cal Performances in Berkeley featuring 14 dancers and a new arrangement for chamber ensemble.

“The curtain rose on Morris’ exquisitely relatable dancers, and I found myself thinking not of comfort or inconstancy, but of transcendence.” – The San Francisco Chronicle

THE LOOK OF LOVE Following the roaring success of his Beatles tribute Pepperland, Mark teamed up again with musical collaborator Ethan Iverson to begin the creation of The Look of Love, a wistful and heartfelt homage to the chart-topping songs of Burt Bacharach. The evening-length work features ten dancers and an ensemble of piano, trumpet, bass, and drums, with singer and actress Marcy Harriell on lead vocals.

“For many years, I’ve wanted to see my music reimagined in some kind of theatrical production – not just a jukebox musical formula of songs, but an original work with its own story and appeal. I’ve found an ideal collaborator in Mark Morris, whose brilliant choreography and deep musicality give songs new meaning and dimension through movement.” – Burt Bacharach

MOZART DANCES When Mozart Dances premiered in 2006, the work was performed to the original score: two sonatas for 30-member orchestra and one piece for two pianos. To make the work more accessible to presenters across the nation with venues of varying sizes, Morris engaged Mark Morris Dance Group Music Director Colin Fowler to create a new arrangement for the final dance. Fowler’s take on Mozart’s piano concerto number 27, arranged for nine musicians, debuted at BroadStage in Santa Monica on June 9, 2022, to critical acclaim.

ARTISTS AND AUDIENCE COMMUNITY We enjoyed a robust touring season performing acclaimed repertory works–Fugue, Three Preludes, Offertorium, Retreat from Madrid, Jealousy, Greek to Me, Words, Pepperland, Jenn and Spencer, Gloria, Dancing Honeymoon, and Grand Duo–engaging audiences in 16 states from California to Washington, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and more. At home in New York City, free outdoor performances brought Morris’ work to residents and visitors in partnership with the city’s botanic gardens and parks.

The season’s highlight was our return in March 2022 to the Brooklyn Academy of Music with Morris’ masterpiece, L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato. This grand assemblage of artists brought together 87 performers including a full orchestra and chorus. The performances received standing ovations and rave reviews. Our concurrent educational programming invited audiences to experience the work at a deeper level.

“Morris’s ‘L’Allegro’ is more than an incandescent evening of music and dance. It’s where art, and the reflection of it, impart something about the action of living. It’s hope.” – Gia Kourlas, The New York Times Two new apprentices, Taína Lyons and Courtney Lopes, joined the company. We bid farewell to two longtime company members Aaron Loux and Laurel Lynch. Former company members Maile Okamura, Brian Lawson, and Elisa Clark returned for special projects.

20 YEARS WITH OUR DANCE CENTER COMMUNITY On September 18, 2021, we celebrated two decades of the Mark Morris Dance Center and vital community programs with a special outdoor event featuring a free performance by the Dance Group and free classes for all ages, inclusive of people with and without disabilities.

From fall through spring, we continued to rebuild our in-person programming, re-opening the Dance Center while maintaining the key online programs that had become a lifeline during the pandemic. By spring, we were connecting with our community through 150 weekly in-person classes, 35 community partnerships, and more than 400 free Dance for PD® classes online.

The anniversary season culminated in June 2022 in a Dance Center Showcase and a 24-hour online global festival attended by more than 1,000 Dance for PD® participants. The showcase featured performances by Student Company I and II, Arts Immersion Fellows, and a collaborative intergenerational performance by Dance for PD® with Student Company members.

INCLUSION, DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND ACCESS IN OUR COMMUNITY We believe in the power of dance, live music, and the performing arts to unite and uplift without barriers, and we are committed to undoing systemic racism in the dance community. In fiscal year 2022, we learned, reflected, and took action to advance inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA) across our organization. We continued regular training and education for faculty, administrative staff, board members, and dancers.

Acknowledging our privilege in owning and having regular access to many studio spaces, we prioritized sharing our studios more intentionally. We welcomed our inaugural Priority Access cohort, ensuring dance artists in our Subsidized Rehearsal Space program who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) have first access to rehearsal space.

Recognizing that Parkinson’s affects multiple non-English-speaking communities, we prioritized adding more Dance for PD® classes in Spanish, launching new classes in Mandarin, and creating marketing materials in these languages.

At the Dance Center, we implemented self-selecting tiered tuition and made our scholarship program more transparent and more easily accessible. We installed ADA-compliant automated doors at the main entrance of the building and in Studio E, increasing ease of access to our building for visitors with disabilities and for our Dance for PD® community.

Online, after conducting an accessibility audit of our website, we took the first steps to implement a larger plan for website improvements, adding visual descriptions for images on our website and in our social media posts.

ADVANCING THE MARK MORRIS DANCE GROUP DIGITAL ARCHIVE Free and accessible to the public, the archive contains a multitude of content online that is not available anywhere else. With a goal of ensuring that the archive remains an active and growing resource for engaging with and deepening public understanding of the work, we made key improvements to the design and launched several digital exhibitions: Photographs by Tom Brazil Showcases the prolific photographer’s earliest photographs of the Dance Group.

LEADING DANCE EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Our educational pedagogy and curriculum, centering students’ diverse identities, continued to evolve in ways that are leading the field. By embedding inclusion principles in our educational programming, we further developed in-studio cultures that invite students and teachers to engage as equal participants in the learning experience, moving away from a traditional top-down approach.

Online programming continued to be vital for our community, particularly for people with disabilities, people with health concerns who were not yet engaging with the broader public, people with varying scheduling needs, and people residing outside of New York City. In January 2022, we launched the Mark Morris Digital Dance Center with classes in a variety of dance and movement styles. We also gained new global partners for Dance for PD® online programs in South Korea, Poland, Sweden, and Canada.

We sustained essential in-school arts programming for 1,400+ New York City public school students through Digital Dance Labs, a virtual version of our acclaimed Dance, Music, and Literacy (DML) project.

DML introduces students to the performing and visual arts through Morris’ masterwork, L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato, featuring the music of George Frideric Handel, poetry of John Milton, and paintings of William Blake.

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.

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.
