The goal of the Trifecta Dance Collective is to ignite community dialogue through an artistic lens.
Engage: The presented work will challenge artists and audiences to compassionately interact. The Trifecta Dance Festival course offerings, panel discussions, and the In.Grained Spring Performance Series ignite empathic connection and spur community collaboration.
Empower: Community residencies, the fall Salon Performance Series, and the Collective Contemporary Awards empower participants to serve as a catalyst for progressive social change.
Expand: Artists and audiences embrace fearless compassion as their community becomes more expansive. The Metamorphosis; Fearless Evolution youth experience and The Trifecta Dance Festival create opportunities for connection, inspiration, and growth.
