Connecting Communities

CONNECTING COMMUNITIES

“Connecting Communities” is a free/donation-based program geared towards BIPOC, culturally-based dancers and artists. “Connecting Communities” encourages communities to network while providing funding opportunities to artists and also connects local, national and international communities with accessible training and the opportunities to learn from Master Artists in different dance rhythmic traditions. This program is made possible by our funders the Mellon Foundation & California Arts Council, and our fiscal sponsor Brava Theater.
