About Danspace Project

Danspace Project’s mission is to present new work in dance, support a diverse range of artists in developing work, encourage experimentation, and connect artists to audiences. We value people (artists, audiences, and those behind the scenes), equity, connection, inquiry, listening, and adaptability–all of which guides us in offering flexible resources for artists, cultivating collaboration and community-based partnerships, and reaching a diverse audience. Founded in 1974, Danspace supports a vital community of contemporary dance artists in the historic landmark St. Mark’s Church in the East Village. Core programs include presenting, commissioning and residencies; Platforms - a series of multi-week presentations centered on collaborative curatorial inquiry; DraftWork, showings of works-in-process; Food for Thought, showcasing new work and collecting food for local food banks; Conversations Without Walls, artist driven discussions; printed publications; and an online Journal with writing, images, and video contributions.
