editor’s letter Dance Abounds Tiffany Bailey


local talent. Danielle Georgiou brought us for- ward-thinking dance works such as Donkey Beach andWar Flower. Joy Bollinger fromBruce Wood Dance Companymesmerized us all with


A


her first full-length company pieced titled, Carved in Stone. Dark Circles Dance Companymerged whimsy with ominous in the piece, Big BadWolf. These performances havemade lasting impressions onme and havemademe realize there really is no limit to what dance can be or become.


We’ve also seen the kick-off of the Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs’ Dallas Cultural Plan. This city-wide initiative is tasked with taking feedback fromthe community to find out how resources can be better allocated to support amore artistic and culturally rich city. I’mglad this conversation is finally happen- ing.We boast with pride about having the largest arts district in the nation which is great but there are somany other great spaces in the area that are untapped. For instance, the Dallas Public Library has five black box theatres at evenly dispersed


As the year comes to a close, I can’t help but reflect on what a whirlwind year it has been. This year we’ve seen such wonderfully progressive work fromour


branches equipped with up-to-date AV. The Sixth Floor Museumis looking into creating a performance space in their facility and small galleries are offering their space upmore and more to live performances. I’mhoping this Cultural Plan can help us to reach our cultural potential by bringing art into com- munities, supporting the artists who choose to call Dallas their home and tapping into city resources.


There has also been themuch talked aboutMoody Foundation $10million endowment that will fund small arts groups. Despite the cloud of negativity that looms over this grant, I think it will only help our grassroots and emerging artists gain visibility. I want this to be a city that creates opportunity for small, up-and-coming companies. If we want to keep artists in the North Texas area and not lose themto New York, Chicago or LA, we need to offer this kind of funding and support to artists as incentive to stick around.


The dance world has been aflutter with change and it leaves me feeling so optimistic about the future of dance in North Texas. As wemove through Nutcracker season and welcome the New Year, I look forward to observing and writing about what great things are bound to happen.
