Mission Statement
Tannery World Dance & Cultural Center (TWDCC) facilitates a working home for professional world & contemporary dance artists, while providing dance education that is committed to access, equity, and excellence.
About This Cause
We are a non profit world and contemporary dance center dedicated to providing world class, accessible, and diverse dance arts and education; a working home for professional and developing artists; and a thriving community space for all. Tannery World Dance and Cultural Center’s (TWDCC) Mission center’s around the work and development of the artist in relation to the community. Since our founding, TWDCC has made it a priority to foster a working home for artists to support themselves, develop a broad base of work professionally, and forge new ideas through community support, engagement, and conversation. TWDCC believes in the process of one’s craft. We believe that in order to take risks and grow as an artist, one must feel connected, safe, and have a broad platform to tell their story. Over the past 8 years, TWDCC has provided ongoing support to dozens of world and contemporary artists from around the globe. We believe that artists have the power to bring great change to their communities and provide the platform and opportunity for that interchange, connection, and development. TWDCC facilitates this ongoing community conversation by providing audiences opportunities to watch, engage, and learn from performances, curated festivals, artist talks, and community dance classes. TWDCC links artists, audiences, and other cultural and outreach organizations throughout Santa Cruz and the Bay Area, nationally and internationally, to facilitate cross cultural events, social awareness, and dialogue and understanding through dance and performance. Alongside our recreational and rigorous pre-professional youth dance programming, TWDCC creates educational and outreach programs that allow unique opportunities for youth in the Santa Cruz community to engage with professional dance and cultural artists from all over the world, as well as reaching our goal of providing 20 full scholarships for dance study at the Tannery World Dance and Cultural Center every year.
