Project Description

Founded in 2007, David Herrera Performance Company, a dance organization, prides itself in providing visibility, agency, opportunity, & exposure of a diverse Latinx experience within an American context. Rich in theatricality and propelled by nuanced, visceral movement, the company makes its statement by weaving dance, story-telling/narrative, music, and media into a textured conversation between Latinx cultures and a multicultural audience.  
Besides performance, DHPCo. also creates programming that enriches, impacts, and supports intersectional Latinx communities through learning opportunity and community building. The company centers Latinx and Hispanic communities in modern dance as creators, performers, choreographers, audience, curators, scholars, policy makers, teachers, community leaders, and students.  DHPCo. works to create a cultural artistic lineage and cultivate networks from which other Latinx artists and community members can meet, learn from, and work with one another. DHPCo. is one of few predominantly Latinx focused modern dance companies in the United States.
