“Founded in 1996, keshet's mission is to inspire and unite community by fostering unlimited possibilities through dance, mentorship, and a creative space for the arts. Uniting the arts, the artist and the audience, keshet invites individuals and organizations to engage, experience, and be inspired through bold explorations of movement and celebrations of commuity. While based in albuquerque, new mexico, keshet actively provides programming throughout the state of new mexico and tours and conducts residencies regionally and globally. Keshet's philosophy is that dance opens doors, and access to these doors should be available to all, regardless of social, economic, situational and/or physical limitations. As such, keshet programming actively focuses on reaching students who are homeless, incarcerated, living below the economic poverty line and those who live with physical and/or developmental disabilities. Keshet is built upon the philosophy that professional art should be deeply rooted in community engagement. Keshet's core values of inclusion, excellence, personal growth, authenticity, fluidity, and opportunity support this philosophy, propelling keshet's professional dance company and its comprehensive education engagement programs and curriculum permeating a wide scope of social service and educational avenues in new mexico and beyond. Keshet operates multiple programs falling into four broad categories - social justice through dance; global to local, local to global; the business of art; community dance education and performance.”
