Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble is committed to community outreach as one of our highest priorities. We Our outreach efforts include performances, workshops, and classes, as well as holding food, clothing, or supplies drives for partner organizations at our performances. We have developed relationships with many organizations including Christopher House and the Neighborhood Writing Alliance. We are developing a poetry and performance workshop with the Neighborhood Writing Alliance for the fall of 2008. Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble is dedicated to creating performances and partnerships that bring about change in the world around us, even on a small scale. We work to grow a diverse audience, manifesting change on many levels, be it by touching someone through a performance or by working hand-in-hand with partners in the community.
