THE COMPANY
Black Box Dance Theatre was established in 2013 with the firm commitment to creating an environment that is equitable and accessible for all.
We seek to create a collaborative and productive artistic environment where all are welcome, and all perspectives are valued and respected. We do not tolerate discrimination, bias, or harassment of any kind.
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.
