MISSION Our mission is to make dance in an environment that fosters the complete creative investment of each of our collaborators, and to present performances in ways that broaden the accessibility of innovative modern dance to new audiences. HISTORYfor change dance collective (fcdc) grew out of a desire to make dance through a choreographic process that reflects the ideals of socially conscious art. Since 2010, fcdc has been creating highly experiential dance theater excavated from raw experience, employing a uniquely democratic approach to art-making that embraces collaboration, shared ownership, and intimacy of all kinds.A sense of familial interconnectedness pervades our work, as many individual voices equally contribute to performances that cast light on the aspects of humanity that connect us all. United under the core beliefs that great art is transformational art, and that great art should be accessible to all, we hope to create dance that fosters change in audiences and performers alike.fcdc has been presenting collaboratively created dance works in the San Francisco Bay Area since the first piece performed in 2010 by Claire Calalo, Lauren Baines, and Jessica de Leon. Since its inception, fcdc has been dedicated to mining the rich terrain of socially conscious dance theater, drawing upon our collected experiences in the performance and visual arts, education, law, science, and spirituality.
