Dance Umbrella
P.O. Box 1323
Austin, TX 78767

Dance Umbrella believes that the arts help describe, define, and deepen our experience of living. For us, dance is a kinetic form of communication which includes all forms of movement and physical expression. DU provides innovative community education about the power, culture, history and community of dance through developing dynamic educational programs with artists through residencies and presenting activities.

DU selects artists whose work is aesthetically clear and strongly communicative, and who have an interest in expanding their vision within a diverse cultural and community context. DU sees the development of a residency engagement as a creative collaboration between artist, organization and community, which usually takes two years to develop. Currently, Dance Umbrella does not have its own facility, and presents contemporary dance and movement artists in both traditional and alternative spaces.
