Madison Contemporary Dance

Collaboration concert, 2 & 5 pm on 9/24 & 1 pm, 9/25. Tickets TBA.

media release: This year, MCD is connecting dance teachers, professional performers, street-style artists, and choreographers with dance students and Madison area children. MCD hopes to promote the creation and exploration of dance and how this art form provides individuals the opportunity to make lasting relationships within their community. Choreographers will work with each other to create works expressing connection and collaboration. From this, we hope to inspire collaboration between people from differing backgrounds.  

MCD has partnered with the Hitterz Collective, Bridge Lakepoint Waunona Neighborhood Center, A Step Above Dance and Music Academy, and choreographers Papa Kobina Brewoo and Miye Bishop to create new works of collaborative dance. 

“We are excited to share our Collaboration Project works of dance with the public! Contemporary and street-style professional dancers will perform pieces created together. You will see ballet and modern-based contemporary dance, and street styles such as hip hop, krump, house, popping, breakdancing, and more. Our hope is to inspire people from different backgrounds to work together. We believe the future of dance is about bringing people together to create art and community.” 

This project is supported by the National Endowment of the Arts, Dane Arts, The Madison Arts Commission, and the Wisconsin Arts Board.
