The vision of MADC is to reflect the historical and cultural legacy of black and brown communities through all of its offerings to people and audiences nationwide.
The mission of MADC is to utilize movement as the catalyst to increase IDEA (inclusion, diversity, equity, & access) as a form of resistance & liberation for Black & Brown people nationwide.
The core values of MADC are to create, share, and inspire:
We create work, curriculum, and syllabi to honor and celebrate the ancestors and elders whose shoulders that we stand on.
We share movement that speaks to the history and subject matters relevant to all BIPOC communities.
We inspire people through our choreographic work, classes, workshops, and residencies that hold open spaces to support Black & Brown people to heal, grow, and thrive as individuals and as a collective.
