Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, DISCO RIOT will continue to support and produce a wide range of artists through our innovative programming. DISCO RIOT has developed a shared leadership model that includes a collaborative staff and board support system. Funds from CAC will supplement the compensation of key staff members, including our Operations Coordinator, Education & Outreach Coordinator and Producing Artists, as well as be used to continue fair wages for our teaching and tech staff. These funds help us support our team which in turn provides sustainability, increased impact, and professional development, particularly for BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, and transitional youth artists in our community.
Organization Summary
We achieve our mission through a combination of activities that create opportunities for movement-artists to develop their practice that also invite the general public to explore the impact of movement in their own lives. These activities include classes, artist residencies, networking events, performance opportunities, and online projects. Our key programs like Choreo & _____, S P A C E Alliance Studio Residencies, Queer Mvmnt Fest, Summer and Fall Workshops, and ongoing donation-based classes allow the larger arts community and the public to come together with socially conscious dance as the fulcrum.
