WHY IT MATTERS

Under the Co-Artistic Direction of Annie-B Parson and Paul Lazar, BDT generates its work through the collective curiosity of its directors, designers and performers, as they re-imagine character, relationship and context through choreographic, musical and visual structures. Each piece is developed over months of rehearsal in which the company collaborates on every component of the production.

The process is both time-intensive and an expensive necessity for the creation of our original, multi-genre works. WE CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT.

Individual donations of any kind directly support artist’s fees and creative development.

 

THE INNER CIRCLE

The BDT Creation Circle is a group of lead individual contributors committed to the development and support of the company’s newest works through major gifts designated for commissioning and world premieres.

Creation Circle members receive exclusive updates throughout the creation process, invitations to work-in-progress showings and previews, and behind the scenes access to the company’s artistic directors via reading lists, research and source materials, film and literary inspiration, and personal interaction.

To learn more about the BDT Creation Circle, or to join the Circle, please contact Executive Director Sara Pereira da Silva. [/one_half]
