Our Mission
It is NRDC’s mission to create art collaboratively with artists of all disciplines and to support the creation of experimental dance work. As a unit, we are committed to creating new work which challenges ideas and broadens perceptions, while also encouraging experimentation at the highest level. We are devoted to being a part of our dance community’s growth through the inclusion of various artists in specific performance and outreach programs. Each NRDC collaborator brings a new community of not only audience but also outreach to our collective.
