As part of their mission to nurture and support freelance dance artists in NYC, Dishman + Co. has organized Co+life, a workshop and performance event addressing the urgent need for new cultures of true care within the dance industry’s artistic and professional practices. The workshop invites introspection, individually and collectively, in an effort to activate healing and build creative community in a time of unrest and disconnection. The performance enacts these built connections, aiming to stir audiences toward change and draw attention to current dance making systems in need of reform.
Co+life is committed to providing 20 NYC professional dancers with equitable living wages, video footage for professional use, prioritization of boundaries, and honoring of each collaborative voice through creative processes rooted in radical care. This workshop culminates in 2 performances and professional video capture that celebrates these brilliant individuals as they bravely embody our shared humanity.
