NCCAkron welcomes artists, as well as dance enthusiasts, to ask new questions, to challenge what we think we know, and how we all make dances. Accepting the helm in 2016, I found this to be a liberating invitation and continue to acknowledge the tremendous privilege afforded to focus on process over product.

Prior to my arrival, NCCAkron was founded to support the research and development of new work in dance by: 

  • strengthening the national dance ecosystem as an anchor development space for dance

  • exploring the full potential of the creative process in dance and all its forms

  • serving as a catalyst for artistic, cultural, and community advancement and enrichment.

I am honored to continue with this mission and expand our work in and with the national dance ecosystem. Please explore the Center virtually, starting with our history, team, board, and partners.

Dance on.
