NWD Projects
We are dancers, and our voices speak most truthfully through our bodies. Without words, without tools, without instruments, we create. We belong in the universe the way leaves move with the wind, water travels on the tides, and creatures crawl on the Earth. We speak from nature’s oldest stories and connect to her deepest secrets. We are her voice and she needs to be heard.
Dale Andree, director of NWD Projects, has been on a mission for the past decade to use the visceral power of dance to bring attention to our collective responsibility to act on behalf of nature. The company was founded in 2014 to support National Water Dance, a bi-annual event across the United States that brings dancers of all levels together to support environmental awareness. This live-streamed event represents the focus on community and collective engagement that is at the core of NWD Projects’ mission.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
