Thank you for your interest in helping us to continue our
mission. Experience Dance Theatre (EDT) relies
on the generosity of EDT supporters, individual donors and corporate
gifts. Your gifts play an active role in
ensuring that EDT continues to maintain our core values and continue to grow as
a performance company. EDT continues a history of excellence and a
commitment to cultural, artistic, educational and community development under
the artistic leadership of founder and Director, Edna-Jakki Miller.
Founded in 2004, our Company was
created to fill the gap of providing audiences with works that are rooted in
the values, culture, and experiences of our community. Our mission is to
foster, promote, create, perform, and teach dance and theater with an emphasis
on the historical experiences and contemporary lives of people, especially
African Americans and people of color from diverse socio-economic groups. When on stage we share stories that are inspirational,
socially conscious, physically engaging, emotionally charging, and spiritually
uplifting.
EDT is committed to
its long term goals of developing a viable support
system and the necessary skills required to
maintain a local performance repertory ensemble (EDT, Sepia Theatre &
EDTKids); to sponsor projects in the form of studio and staged performances,
studio & master classes and workshops; and to promote the work of local
choreographers, directors and playwrights. Enriching the lives of young people
through education and outreach programs, kids acting and dance camps,
workshops, and master classes in Charlottesville and the surrounding regions are critical to providing
our young people with
positive creative outlets, positive experiences and positive role models.
Your giving is vital for EDT as
each performance season we seek to provide exceptional, yet affordable
performances; to create new inspirational choreography; attract, train and
educate aspiring performers; and to provide effective education and community
programs for our community and audiences of more than 5,000 people each year,
including local audiences, Cable TV programs and DVDs in the Charlottesville
and surrounding areas.
These initiatives all require your continued
support. We hope that you will join in and demonstrate your commitment to the
arts and the greater community that we serve. Sponsoring EDT offers significant
opportunities for visibility and recognition through our local performances, special
events, choreography, education and community programs. Please make your
donation today!
