PARTNERS

Duende Dance Theater, Inc. is committed to partnerships with other dance and theater companies in order to improve and widen the dance audiences in Atlanta.   Duende Dance Theater, Inc. has produced several of the creative projects of Coriolis Dance Inc. including Spare Dances, Falling, and Fly Paper Dances.  The two artistic directors, Amanda Exley Lower of Duende Dance Theater and Elizabeth McCune Dishman of Coriolis Dance Inc., collaborated on a piece titled Self Same, which was selected for the 2003 Modern Atlanta Dance Festival.   In November of the same year, they shared a concert titled Pulse in the historic Georgia Avenue Church in East Atlanta.  Another fertile partnership has been with Fly By Theatre, a growing theatre company in Atlanta.  Fly By and Duende have launched successful education programs for professionals and children and have also co-written and directed A World of Silents, a journey through the field of silent film.

SPONSORS

Duende Dance Theater, Inc. has benefited greatly from its contributors and sponsors.  Continued support from the Peachtree Presbyterian Church Fitness Center has enabled Duende to have access to rehearsal space.  The donation of materials and labor costs of Universal Steel made the production of the 15 foot steel window possible for Making Light Out of Darkness.  Wall Crawler on DeKalb Avenue negotiated for the rental of their space and storage of this set piece.  Marketing and catering services have been provided by 2 Push Pilates.  Body Central of Buckhead has donated costumes.  David Waehner’s music production company continues to provide dubbing and musical editing services. 

We are extremely thankful to the DeKalb Council of the Arts and the Bureau for Cultural Affairs of Atlanta for financial grants and to the Coca-Cola Company and the Home Depot for matching grant contributions.
