The mission of the Colette Harding Contemporary Dance Company is to build community, unite the arts, and introduce new audiences to Modern Dance and other contemporary art forms through collaborations, performances, and education. Productions and classes should enrich, educate and cultivate the arts in our growing population. CHCDC is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Arts Organization.
Our Vision
The contemporary arts are a very important aspect to a growing city. The arts must be cultivated to enrich the community, in which the population lives, and must invite and educate the local community in local, national, and international contemporary art forms of all kinds. This is done through introduction, education, collaborations, exhibitions and performances.
In envisioning the future of the Colette Harding Contemporary Dance Company, the hope is to invite the population of the ever growing, ever changing city of San Diego to experience the contemporary art occurring in their city, nation and world. The vision is also to unite contemporary art forms, which seem at times very separated. The audiences introduced to contemporary modern dance will also be introduced to other art forms and artists through either separate stage performance and lobby gallery showings within the same production, collaborations of various artists and the choreographer in the creation of a production, gallery performances, and educational classes and workshops. This will create new audiences for both modern dance and the other contemporary art forms presented, which will cultivate growth in the arts in our community and enrich the city we live in.
