THE COMPANY
Black Box Dance Theatre was established in 2013 with the firm commitment to creating an environment that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive for all.
We do not tolerate discrimination, bias, or harassment of any kind. Instead, we seek to create a collaborative and productive artistic environment where all are welcome, and all perspectives are valued and respected.
We encourage a respectful exchange of ideas between company members, staff, and board leadership. We believe that to create great and impactful art, all voices must be heard.
