Annex Dance Company cultivates a modern dance community in a region rooted in more traditional dance. Outside of Annex Dance Company, professional modern dance is only presented a few times a year, primarily by the Gaillard Center and Spoleto Festival USA. Annex Dance Company is committed to the accessibility of modern dance and collaborative art-making in the Lowcountry and throughout the Southeast.

August marks the official start of Season 19, and we’re kicking things off with a Donation a Day campaign! Each day of the month we’ll highlight the generous donors who contribute to support our work. No gift is too small. Every donation truly makes a difference.

If you’re interested in making a larger impact as a Season Sponsor, we’d love to connect. This year, we’re offering three sponsorship tiers to help you direct your contribution in a meaningful way.

Tier 1: Education & Community Workshops ($500+)

This tier supports the heart of our outreach and educational programming.

Your sponsorship will help us:

Present our Art Meets Movement workshops
Support our College of Charleston Residency (Spring 2026), which will culminate in sharing the stage with the students for one of the pieces in our 2026 concert - Ripples of Change
Continue low-cost technique classes for dancers in our community.
Expand our offerings to schools, community centers, and arts organizations
Provide complimentary tickets for young dancers and their families to the 2026 concert

Tier 2: Dance Film – Mother/Motion ($1000+)

Your sponsorship will fund the planning, rehearsals, filming, post-production, marketing, and screening opportunities for Mother/Motion, a dance film that follows five members of Annex Dance Company, all at a different stage of motherhood.

Through original choreography, spoken reflections, and intimate visuals, the film explores how motherhood reshapes creative identity, physicality, and balance. Rather than an obstacle, motherhood is portrayed as a generative force that fuels resilience, expands artistry, and redefines what it means to be a woman in motion.

Help us produce and bring this powerful, narrative-rich project to wider audiences through film festivals, community screenings, and educational discussions.

Tier 3: 2026 Concert - Ripples of Change ($2500+)

Help produce Annex Dance Company’s first themed, mixed-repertory performance. Included in this concert will be Salt in the Soil, our piece for the stage and film about ghost forests, and new works exploring the relationship between humanity and the environment, with a focus on water as a shared resource and source of inspiration. For this concert we are collaborating with composers Edward Hart and Z. Brewer, costume designers Janine McCabe and Brandon Alston, and marine ecologist Dr. Clare Fieseler. This performance will integrate movement, music, and science, sparking conversation and inspiring action around global environmental issues.
