SEASONS GREETINGS!
2008 was a wonderful year for dre.dance (and oh yeah, OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAA).
We were supported by residencies at Joyce SoHo,
Tribeca Performing Arts Center and Wichita State University.
We premiered TWO new evening-length
works, taught classes, gave talk backs,
were featured in press articles and
had an all around good time.
ONTO 2009!!!

We've been developing our evening-length work, beyond.words   for the last year and a half.  It's been an educational and inspirational experience.

Joyce SoHo in NYC and Wichita State University have
supported the work with generous residencies, and WSU, with the world-premiere of a collaborative
university version of the piece.
WSU students and faculty danced
alongside dre.dance company
members for a unique version
of our work in progress.

Outreach and advocacy have become important components to beyond.words. We've learned so much from movement workshops we've conducted with children with autism and continue to welcome the enthusiastic and emotional support of their families.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Without you, dre.dance is just a few folks dancing for themselves.
And without you, we will cease to be.

We have the amazing fortune of being represented by
