Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Urban Jazz Dance Company (UJDC) will present our October 2024-September 2025 programming including our 17th annual Home Season to take place in November 2024, perform at 15 schools, produce 10 #DeafWoke episodes and present other QTBIPOC Deaf and/or Disabled artists. CAC funds will go towards staff salaries and will support UJDC to produce 2 annual dance productions, the ongoing virtual #DeafWoke and a series of dance performances and workshops in San Francisco. As members of the Deaf community, UJDC founders and staff are of the very communities we serve. We believe in access for all, center diverse historically excluded communities most impacted by oppression in our programming, and deeply embed access in our work. UJDC will bring real Deaf stories to the stage.
Organization Summary
UJDC educates audiences about current events, empowering minorities, lack of early access to language for Deaf children and social justice. We provide educational workshops/performances at Deaf schools, mainstream programs, Universities, state colleges and seniors homes in the process, creating a healing space for many who have experienced domestic abuse. UJDC passionately visits over 70 schools per year, local to International, working with both hearing and Deaf people of all ages and abilities.
