Since 1976, THPAC has presented many of the country’s most renowned artists and companies of color, often before they were well established in the American and International dance scene. These include “Baba” Chuck Davis, Fred Benjamin, Charles Moore, George Faison, Dance Theater of Harlem, and the Alvin Ailey Dance Ensemble. Presenting generations of artists who have gone on to become forces in the dance world, such as Ron K. Brown, Forces of Nature, Camille A. Brown, Urban Bush Women and Kyle Abraham is a testament to our cultural impact on the arts and dance. Our programmatic support of dancers, choreographers, and dance companies is the cornerstone of our work in the arts and in the greater community.
In celebration of our 50th anniversary year, we will invite some of the above artists to perform, along with artists and invite new companies to perform with THPAC for the first time. Our focus will include artists with diverse dance styles and cultural/ethnic backgrounds. We recognize the vitality of this celebration which will highlight the impact and legacy of the established generation of dance artists of color we have championed as well as uplifting a new generation of artists and their ongoing contributions to the field.
Join us in celebrating this 50th Season.
