Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, The Rosin Box Project (TRBP) will expand its immersive dance exposure and engagement program, Out of the Box, across San Diego Title 1 schools, creating meaningful connections between young aspiring artists and world-class professional dancers. The program offers students a multi-layered experience that grants unique access to the full arc of professional dance, from creation to performance. Components include free contemporary ballet performance featuring a new work by a rising TRBP resident choreographer, interactive artist talk-backs, movement workshops led by TRBP teaching artists and company dancers, and behind-the-scenes access to live company rehearsal. Tailored to partner schools’ community and curriculum, the program fosters creative self-expression, confidence, and artistic mentorship. CAC funding will support artist salaries, choreographic commission, teaching artist fees, production costs, and curriculum development, and accessibility expenses.
Organization Summary
TRBP’s core pillars are artistic work in the field of contemporary ballet and arts education. In artistic, the company’s nine professional ballet dancers present works by local and international choreographers several times a year to audiences throughout San Diego and the greater US. In arts education, the company’s in-school outreach workshop, The Ballet Machine, reaches upwards of 30 classrooms a year with its arts integrated learning module. TRBP’s afterschool program, Dance Out Loud!, reaches hundreds of students in 10 week choreography workshops. TRBP’s open adult dance class program, The Rosin Box Studio, connects with roughly 500 adults training in dance across San Diego County in its homebase of Liberty Station.
