“Fy22 activity description continued: dance place hosted two technical residencies, providing national artists with over 60 hours of time onsite in the morris & gwendolyn cafritz theater at dance place. While in residence, artists worked with musicians, lighting designers, and large set pieces to explore and tackle the technical elements and ideas that require the support of technical staff and theater equipment to rehearse. Our resident companies anchor our local community performances, education work, and offsite events. During fy22, dance place provided our resident companies with over 450 hours of free rehearsal space, administrative and marketing assistance, 2 presentations in our theater, performance opportunities in our educational/community programs, and positions on our teaching faculty. During the pandemic, providing uninterrupted access to the energizers creative arts teen leadership and after school prep programs became a top priority for dance place. In fy22, dance place brought our beloved "energizers" back on campus for in-person school year programming for the first time in two years! An average of 750 students, youth and adult, were served monthly on our campus. With a wide range of dance classes from beginning to professionals we provide students with daily opportunities to develop their artistic voices and refine their technical training. In total, our studio education classes served 4,290 adults and 573 youth last year. In order to foster equitable access to arts education, we provided 48 youth scholarships, ensuring participation for all regardless of finances.”
