Come get lost with us!

Realities intersect.
Individuals and the narrative. Springboard into the abstract
moments sliping from grasp. The Vulnerability of Memory.
Flashing, fleeting moments
and a loose grip on the sight of time.
What is left?
To hold on or pull away.
Illusion as comfort — as protection?
As quickly as this moment is the present, it is the past…
it will be bliss

In Dance Workshop’s second evening-length work, the company explores movement, theatre, and virtual-reality film, welcoming the audience into this immersive experience of time, truth and real life — it will be bliss

This weekend, Friday - Sunday! Get your tickets!

Dance Workshop is officially launching our GoFundMe Campaign for the semester!

All funds raised support the production of our evening-length work; including costumes, set design, and props, as well as provide support for the overall continued vision of the Dance Workshop student company. Your generous donations also allow us to share our work with local Detroit schools and communities. We greatly appreciate you and your continued encouragement of our creativity and expression, and engagement with the professional dance field.

As a student-led collective, we do not receive other financial support for the work we make. Your donations are crucial, allowing us to bring our full vision to life and continue refining our craft as aspiring movement artists.

Our GoFundMe campaign has a soft goal of $500 to achieve by April 4th and we can't wait to meet our goal so we can potentially stretch it further! Any contributions would truly mean the world to us, and we cannot wait for you all to see what we have in store for this season!
