Big Rig Dance Goes BIG!
Donation protected
In the past 5 years…
Big Rig Dance Collective has presented several formal productions, site-based performances, and pop-up installations, bringing dance to North Texans in as many ways possible. We’ve traveled to dance festivals throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and most recently Las Vegas, connecting to new dance communities. We’ve collaborated with students, professors, musicians, and digital media artists, broadening our artistic palette.
The four co-directors, Crysta Caulkins-Clouse, Whitney Geldon, Amanda Jackson, and Lily Sloan, have taught master classes and/or held residencies locally at Univeristy of North Texas, Texas Christian University, Collin College, Eastfield College, Richland College, Tarrant County College, Ryan High School, Texas Dance Improvisation Festival, and American College Dance Association. Quite simply, dance education is important to us, and we consistently work to create meaningful dance experiences for movers of all backgrounds. Our annual summer intensive, Dance Co-op, was developed as a way for dance artists to move and create together each summer.
In 2015, we are refining who we are as a dance organization and expanding our vision of who we want to become. Our three upcoming projects represent how we want to grow as a collective, and as individual artists, so that we can give more back to our Texas communities. By performing and studying out of state, we can deepen our connections with national artists while strengthening our artistic ideas and practices.
This June BRDC will premiere our new work, Suite Female: Parts X-XX by Rebecca Bryant, at Highways Performance Space in Los Angeles, California.
In July, we travel to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa to continue working towards certification in Movement Fundamentals with Jane Hawley.
We will also start our first ever scholarship fund for an emerging artist to attend Dance Co-op in August tuition-free. This year we are also hosting incredible Texas-based teaching artists: Joshua Peugh | Dark Circles Contemporary Dance, Erin Reck | Recked Productions, and Sarah Newton & Brooke Schlecte | Out on a Limb.
Your support will help to bridge these communities and ideas, grow and strengthen Big Rig Dance Collective, and ultimately create a significant impact in the North Texas dance community.
