VISION
|
|
Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble engages, inspires, and challenges audiences, both onstage and in the
classroom, through innovative, multidisciplinary storytelling. We do this in the genre of Tanztheatre, "which unites all art media to achieve an all- embracing, radical change in humankind." ARTISTIC IDENTITY IN PERFORMANCE
Rooted in the tradition of Tanztheatre and the collaborative process of devising, CDE creates contemporary multidisciplinary performances to address social issues in a space that fosters community conversation and cultural change.

Residents of Chicagoland are inspired to make their world a better place by exploring important social issues in an
artistic setting. All students have access to arts education and can holistically develop their skills to be proactive, positive members of society. ARTISTIC IDENTITY IN THE CLASSROOM
CDE’s arts education programs create a space in Chicago schools for students to explore their own creativity. Our teaching artists support the holistic development of science, math, reading, and social skills through art and performance.
