With support from the California Arts Council, Invertigo Dance Theatre will send its Executive Director, David Mack, to the 2020 annual Western Arts Alliance conference in San Diego to serve a leadership role on the national Black Arts @ WAA committee and advocate for cultural equity among regional presenters and funders.
Invertigo’s core programming is focused on offering dance theatre as a catalyst for racial equity and public engagement with and between communities that are systemically marginalized and less resourced. All programs activate dance as a transformational mode of storytelling and community-building as part of a movement practice. Invertigo pursues its mission through its professional dance repertory and production company, and a series of community engagement programs, including Dancing Through Parkinson’s. In 2018, Invertigo was awarded the National Dance Project Production Award – one of the highest national honors in dance – for its new dance production, FORMULAE & FAIRY TALES, hailed as “dance theatre at its finest” by the LA Dance Chronicle and declared “a breakthrough show” by the LA Times.
