Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, DISCO RIOT will continue to support and produce a wide range of dance professionals through our programming that provides essential resources for local movement artists and their communities. 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 Lead, Communications Lead, Education & Outreach Lead, and Producing Artist Lead, as well as continue fair wages for our teaching and technical staff. These funds help us provide sustainability, increased impact, and professional development for BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, disabled, 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, PIPO (Pop In Pop Out) Workshops, and ongoing donation-based classes allow the larger arts community and the public to come together with socially conscious dance as the fulcrum.
