About Glade Dance Collective
Formed in Washington, D.C., in August of 2009, Glade Dance Collective is a collective of dancers brought together by a shared sense that the creative voices of individuals guide social, cultural and political growth. Glade seeks to create socially relevant works of personal and collective meaning.
Current members include Lauren Borchard, Emma Dozier, Betsy Loikow, Ellen Massey, Leah Curran Moon, Caitlin Russi, Alina Hall Sabadish and Sylvana Christopher Sandoz.
Glade is fiscally sponsored through Fractured Atlas - your contributions to this project are tax deductible!
About The Wall
The Wall is an exploration of the effect of enforced policies of separation on people's lives, focusing on the experience of those living in the shadow of the separation wall in the West Bank. Special inspiration is taken from the poems of Palestinian women in Nahalin, a village outside of Bethlehem and surrounded by the wall and its ubiquitous military checkpoints.
When a wall goes up, who is walled in, and who is walled out?

Other ways you can help
With your help, this is cake.
If you live in D.C., help us spread the joy you know Glade brings to a new city! If you live in New York, help get us to where you are! If you live elsewhere and have always wanted to support us by seeing a performance but haven't been able to yet, please consider supporting us financially!
The more you share and the more people pitch in to support the arts, the easier our goal will be to make!
