GRANT SUPPORT
​In June 2016, BRDC was awarded a microgrant from the Greater Denton Arts Council with Texas Commission on the Arts and National Endowment for the Arts. This grant allowed us to  jump start a community-centered project using commissioned choreography by Jane Hawley, titled You Are Not My Enemy. The movement material for this work, originally sourced from two young brothers, is highly physical, teetering between between playful, loving, and aggressive. Yet, when the movement is transposed onto diverse adult dancers, the tumultuous physical relationships reveal the complexities of human relationships in our world today.

PAST FUNDRAISERS
Dance in the Desert
BRDC was selected to present work at the 16th annual Dance in the Desert Festival July 25-26, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada! Face on the Ground, by Amanda Jackson and Meredith Knight Treminio, began as an exploration of endurance and evolved into carefully crafted obstacles that are used to re-imagine gender roles, namely the female role in dance. An article about our journey, titled "Westward Movement," was featured in the Denton Record Chronicle. A huge, sparkly Vegas thanks to all of our donors on  GoFundMe!

Homing Where I Roam
BRDC’s first evening of dance, titled Homing Where I Roam, included original music by composer, John Osburn, and live music composition by Hentai Improvising Orchestra. The performers individually and collaboratively explored ideas of home, family, and sense of place to create an intriguing spin on the comfortable and familiar. The performance took place on December 16-17, 2011 at The Black Box Theatre in downtown Denton, TX. Homing Where I Roam was featured in the Denton Record Chronicle, interview and article by Lucinda Breeding. Gratitude to all of our backers on Kickstarter!
