Brian Brooks
2012 Resident Choreographer / Brian Brooks Moving Company“DANCEworks at the Lobero Theatre successfully gave me one of these rare and imagined spaces – a true pioneer in the landscape of American creativity.”
Doug Elkins
2011 Resident Choreographer / Doug Elkins Choreography“DANCEworks has been one of the most (if not the most) fruitful creative opportunities I have ever spent.”
Larry Keigwin
2010 Resident Choreographer / Keigwin + Company“Keigwin + Company’s four weeks at DANCEWORKS 2010 provided us with the invaluable experience of spending an extended period of time devoted to the creation of new work. Composing on the historic Lobero Stage was truly a gift.”
Aszure Barton
2009 Resident Choreographer / Aszure and Artists“DANCEworks 2009 was a stupendous, rich, intense journey that I will always cherish. It is a dream destination for an artist that supports and nurtures growth, aliveness and pure creativity.”
Margie Gillis
"A month for a new creation in a theatre with wonderful housing, support and engagement. This is a rare gift in the North American Dance scene."
Be Part of the Future of American Dance
DANCEworks isn’t just about unforgettable performances. It’s about long-term relationships with the gutsiest artists in contemporary dance—relationships that allow bold choreographers to take new risks.
Our family of supporters makes this possible. A gift of $150 will provide room and board to a dancer for a day, a gift of $500 will cover the travel costs of a dance from New York City to Santa Barbara, and a larger gift helps pay the choreographers for their creative work or contribute to stage tech and lighting.
Any size gift will make a big difference in supporting the creation of risk-taking dance. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to support our important work.
Thanks for your tax-deductible contribution to help to support the creation of new American contemporary dance from outstanding choreographers!
