THE SCHOOL FOR CONTEMPORARY DANCE & THOUGHT (SCDT) is comprised of independent, internationally experienced teaching artists who embrace multiplicity, arouse curiosity, and emphasize personal choice. Central to SCDT's mission is an abiding respect for the traditions, histories, and evolution of dance and performance with the directive to continue challenging established ideals. SCDT serves as a hub by maintaining space for process based art that connects local and international communities.

SCDT is an independent non profit arts organization struggling to survive in this pandemic.

SCDT is dedicated to employing a small wonderful staff of artists and is continuing to offer programming to the public during these tenuous times. Please consider a donation to support SCDT so we can support artists, teachers and keep up with the important arts programming.

Be safe!
