Mission

The mission of Mannakin Theater & Dance is to expand the world of the performing arts by inviting new individuals and demographics to rich experiences in the theater seats, inside the studio, and under the stage lights. We believe that by opening the tent of the performing arts to the broadest swath of people and cultures that new audiences are created, fresh voices are heard and all people are lifted as ships on a rising tide, to ever greater heights of human creativity and achievement. The professional creation/production credo of Mannakin Dance focuses on works that gather a racially and ethnically diverse audience by engaging dancers and choreographers from a wide range of communities, including Latin, Chinese and African American. MTD follows an artistic vision that often places professional talents alongside student and amateur dancers. This mingling of the virtuosic and the lay represents a hearkening to the roots of dance, when everyone in the village danced together.

Carried out ongoing ballet outreach program for 120 youth in East Palo Alto. Tuition is subsidized through grants and contributions and the instruction is located within the underserved community that served by Mannakin Theater & Dance. Students from this program were featured in one major performance in this shortened fiscal year. The return of our unique production of The Nutcracker Suite in the city of East Palo Alto. This is a shortened version of the Nutcracker that is crafted by staff to be appropriate for the skill level of our student body. It was produced at the Eastside College Prep School, in East Palo Alto, CA. 60 youth were part of this production. Families in the school are charged tuition on a tiered scale that is tied to their attested and/or verified income levels. 75% of the students in the school come from families that are in the acutely low or extremely low income levels according to federally established housing assistance guidelines for San Mateo County, California.

Produced Multiple performances at our San Francisco venue. Our capstone performance for the fiscal year was the International Choreographers Festival, which commissioned six choreographers to create new works and present them in an educational forum that allowed for questions and answers from the audience. Operated the iMPACt Genesis residency program. This gave new choreographers a stipend to create a new piece and produced a performance for groups of five choreographers.
