With support from the CAC, Urban Jazz Dance Company will present the 15th and 10th anniversaries of UJDC and Bay Area International Deaf Dance Festival in August 2022, perform at 12 schools, produce 25 #DeafWoke episodes and produce other QTBIPOC Deaf and/or Disabled artists. Funds will go towards staff salaries.
UJDC educates audiences about current events, empowering minorities, lack of early access to language for Deaf children and social justice. We provide educational workshops/performances at Deaf schools, mainstream programs, Universities, state colleges and seniors homes in the process, creating a healing space for many who have experienced domestic abuse. UJDC passionately visits over 70 schools per year, local to International, working with both hearing and Deaf people of all ages and abilities.
