This exhibition explores an artistic connection between our past and present selves. How have we evolved? How has our journey as artists changed us and our work? When given the opportunity to look upon our past work with new eyes, how would it inspire us to create? How would our growth, our experiences, our outlooks change how we would approach the same project, assignment, or piece? Using a specific piece from the past as a starting point Time Warp asks artists to create something new while looking back to their past work for inspiration.

Founded in Dayton, Ohio in 1968 by the late dancer, teacher, choreographer, and visionary leader Jeraldyne Blunden, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company (DCDC) is one of very few American dance companies of international reputation among those located outside a large US metropolitan city. The company’s mission: Rooted in the African-American experience, the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company is a culturally diverse contemporary dance company committed to reaching the broadest audience through exceptional performance and arts-integrated education. To fulfill the company’s mission, the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company 1) creates, performs, and tours locally, nationally, and globally, dance art of exceptional quality, and 2) delivers premier arts-integrated education services in support of a wide-range of learning audiences in the company’s local community and while on tour nationally and internationally.

Most recently DCDC was recognized with a 2016 New York Dance and Performance Award (Bessie Award), a prestigious accolade in contemporary dance, for its performance of Donald McKayle’s seminal work Rainbow ‘Round My Shoulder at David H.
