About the Project

The goal of this project is to establish the college’s 1st annual dance festival and to create a pathway between the college, the Early College High School program on the college campus, other local high schools, and other bay area colleges who will collaborate with community artists to create a beautiful program. This is a student-centered project that will focus on opportunities for all students on campus, as well as the surrounding community and greater bay area. It will provide an opportunity for students to dance, to express themselves through the art of performing, movement, creating, and learning about choreography. Students will experience and be exposed to the joy of performing in a beautiful theater setting and on a theater stage that will have professional theater technicians, photographer, videographer, and lighting designer. All cast members will receive a professional digital or DVD recording of the performance and professional photography of their performance. The dance festival will provide an inclusive safe place for all, and it will create a way to bond with the community and other artists. Students will experience the excitement of their family, friends, and classmates, witnessing their achievements through the art of dance and performance.
