Under the co-artistic direction of Jessie Jeanne Stinnett and award winning, Dutch-Israeli, choreographer Itzik Galili, Boston Dance Theater (BDT) is Boston’s first contemporary dance repertory company with international ties at the leadership level. With a commitment to presenting works of socio-political relevance, BDT matches the talents of Boston-based dancers with those of acclaimed global choreographers, broadening the scope of contemporary dance practice and performance in our city. BDT is a registered 501(c)3 tax-exempt charity as of 2019.
BDT's mission is to build and sustain a professional contemporary dance company dedicated to providing high quality dance performances, dance education and community outreach, to strengthen the dance community in Boston and create new dance audiences. BDT will accomplish this through partnerships with international and world-renown artists to create high quality work performed by local dancers, mentoring local choreographers and dancers, and by performing dance in non-traditional performance locations, such as libraries, senior centers, art galleries and schools.
VALUES We are interested in works which take risks by crossing cultural and interpersonal boundaries, and we engage artists whose artistic visions echo these values. As an organization dedicated to fostering cultural equity, we employ accessible creative process and conversation igniting product as conduits for disrupting opportunity gaps in our city. We aim to make contemporary dance available to historically underrepresented audiences both by connecting our international repertory to, and creating lasting relationships with respected, local cultural institutions, and holding low cost to no cost programming in underserved communities throughout Greater Boston.
