The mission of NWD Projects Inc. is to promote dance as a vehicle for social change through the creation of new work that increases awareness of environmental and social issues through collaboration with the artistic, educational, and scientific communities. NWD Projects makes use of technology and the internet to create a national community, which offers platforms for supporting artistic exchange among professional artists, educating students, and engaging and informing the public. NWD Projects commits to the goal of equity for all by supporting new and diverse ideas from those who challenge us and instituting new structures that can lead us toward a more equitable future.
We are honored and privileged to be able to do this work on lands that have been cared for by many indigenous communities of the past, present, and future—including our friends the Council of the Original Miccosukee Simanolee Nation Aboriginal Peoples, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida. We encourage you to learn more about their environmental priorities and to do your best to support policies that integrate those conservation principles.
