ABOUT Boston Dance Theater
Under the co-artistic direction of Jessie Jeanne Stinnett and award winning, Israeli, choreographer Itzik Galili, Boston Dance Theater (BDT) is Boston’s first contemporary dance repertory company with international ties at the leadership level. With a commitment to presenting works of socio-political relevance that challenge the edges of current world issues, BDT matches the talents of Boston-based dancers with those of acclaimed global choreographers, broadening the scope of contemporary dance practice and performance in our city. BDT is a registered 501(c)3 tax-exempt charity as of 2019.
BDT’s mission is to build and sustain a professional contemporary dance company dedicated to providing high quality dance performances, dance education and community outreach, to strengthen the dance community in Boston and create new dance audiences. BDT will accomplish this through partnerships with international and world renown artists to create high quality work performed by local dancers, mentoring local choreographers and dancers, and by performing dance in non-traditional performance locations, such as libraries, senior centers, art galleries and schools. BDT’s vision is to become a springboard for exchange between communities in Boston and abroad — an incubator for cutting edge work that transcends interpersonal and cultural barriers. BDT aims to build a wide-ranging international repertoire. The backbone of BDT is a strong belief in peaceful global cooperation, and the power of the arts to unite people toward the goal of overcoming pressing global issues. These values are reflected by the artistic directors’ choice of programming, themes within the art work, and artistic collaborators. Visit Website
