Mission Statement
Kanopy Dance Theatre, Inc. was organized to: "promote, encourage, and increase the public's knowledge of and appreciation for the arts, including the art of dance; to coordinate and provide services to the arts to foster their growth and practice; and to engage in activities relating to the aforementioned purposes." (Articles of Incorporation, 1976)
About This Cause
Kanopy Dance Company’s expressionistic and emotionally charged works combine the dramatic physicality of modern dance, contemporary ballet and dance/theater. We present new original dances and historical masterworks, featuring creations by our Artistic Directors as well as local, regional, national and international choreographers. Founded in 1976, Kanopy has been under the artistic direction of Lisa Thurrell and Robert E. Cleary since 1995. They are both celebrated dancers, choreographers, master teachers and directors. Kanopy Dance Company works collaboratively with cutting-edge dance and dance/theater companies throughout the country. Each season Kanopy works with dancers and choreographers who are shaping the modern dance scene. In 2013, Kanopy also formed an ongoing partnership with Martha Graham Dance Company, that continues to flourish and grow. In addition to performing original works at our home, the Overture Center for the Arts, in Madison, Wisconsin, and presenting at arts venues in Chicago, Minneapolis and New York City, Kanopy annually engages in outreach programs reaching thousands through area public and private schools, libraries, community centers, preschools, senior centers, outdoor festivals, and colleges; presenting educational workshops, master classes, lecture demonstrations and performances. Kanopy also provides free tickets to those who might otherwise not have access to the performing arts with the Community Tickets program in collaboration with the Overture Center for the Arts. Kanopy Dance is composed of our core company, a pre-professional training program, our school, and studio. We are a resident company of Overture Center for the Arts producing a season of 3-5 distinct productions annually.
