"The Yard is an oasis of innovation and change. It has played a critical role in dance’s transition beyond traditional forms and values. By encouraging and supporting emerging choreographers, The Yard nurtures creativity that honors cultural origins.”

Genius requires space to create and collaborate. You can help sustain The Yard’s unique legacy of investing in choreographers and their companies.
