With support from the California Arts Council, DISCO RIOT will pay skilled and effective staff in the areas of administration, media/marketing, and volunteer management. This staff is essential in order for our organization to be sustainable, increase impact, and grow resources, particularly for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and female identifying artists.
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.
