IT'S GIVING TUESDAY!
FUNDRAISING GOAL: $2,021
We are leaving behind the nonsense of 2020 and moving forward into the new year!
Help us reach our Giving Tuesday goal of $2021!
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected SCDT greatly. We have had to move all of our magical performances, classes, and workshops online to this new virtual world of online dance. It has been a struggle but we have also discovered new ways of being, creating, and performing as movement artists.
Since the pandemic began, SCDT has continued holding online classes for kids and adults including new classes such as African Diaspora and Comedy Pilates, and our old favorites, Beginner Modern, Contemporary Ballet Barre, and Alexander Technique.
We have started a new workshop series, Somatic Survival Strategies, featuring teaching artists K.J. Holmes, Sara Shelton Mann, karen nelson, and mayfield brooks, with plans to continue into 2021 with Jennifer Nugent, Thomas DeFrantz, and more!
Hatchery, SCDT's teen dance company, has continued as strong as ever with online classes and rehearsals, video projects, virtual performances, and outdoor socially-distanced classes, rehearsals, and showings.
In addition, due to the pandemic we have been unable to sustainably maintain rent and expenses at our old home at 25 Main St and have moved into our new home at 33 Hawley St.
SCDT had an amazing five year run at 25 Main Street where we shared the work of hundreds of local and international artists and created a vibrant community space for performance and movement education. We are looking forward to diving in to our new raw space in the Work Room at 33 Hawley St and continue to reimagine and reinvent the tradition of movement arts in Northampton.
All of us at SCDT are thankful to be dancing, still, and will continue to discover inspiration and creative practices in the face of our world's current challenges, but we need your help!
Please consider making a donation to SCDT to further support this continued programming!
