The mission of the Sacramento Dance Sampler is to foster community growth and provide a platform for emerging and established professional artists and to expose audiences to the growing variety of dance in our region. Founded by Lorelei Bayne in Sacramento in 2011, this annual event is modeled after New York City’s, Symphony Space Dance Sampler, with the goal of bringing together acclaimed professional area dance companies
under one roof, for a
gala weekend of dance!
Very Special Thanks to the Sacramento State College of Arts and Letters-Festival of the Arts (FOTA) and the Department of Theatre and Dance for support of this project.
The mission of
HATCH/ Dance Works in Progress is to foster new works from local dance artists, and create ongoing dialog with audiences that enriches our local community.
Founded and curated by Lorelei Bayne since 2012, HATCH/Dance Works in Progress is an annual informal showing of works in progress by emerging and established artists.
Immediately following the performance the audience is encouraged to engage in a feedback conversation with the artists.
Very Special Thanks to the
Crocker Museum of Art, for supporting and presenting HATCH since its creation.
SacChoreoLab provides an ongoing opportunity for local dance artists to explore collaborative artistic research in choreography, while also serving as an opportunity to develop the growing dance community.
Created by Lorelei Bayne and
Diego Martinez-Campos in Sacramento in the Summer of 2016, SacChoreoLab provides a vehicle to serve as an artistic playground where new ideas and questions can be born, shared and reflected on, in a collaborative, peer-to-peer setting. The SacChoreoLab culminates in an informal public showcase of works and works in progress.
Very Special Thanks to The Latino Center of Art and Culture, CLARA Studios for the Performing Arts, and Sacramento State's Department of Theatre and Dance for the donation of space for these Labs.
