SUPPORT NVA & Guests

 
 
 

Help Bring New Work to Life

NVA & Guests creates bold, highly physical dance-theatre that sparks conversation, builds community, and invites audiences to engage with today's most pressing social questions. As an independent dance company, every production is made possible through the generosity of individuals who believe in the power of the arts. Your support allows us to create new work, fairly compensate artists, invest in meaningful collaborations, and bring performances and educational programs to communities in New York and beyond.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference.

Your support helps fund:

  • New dance-theatre productions

  • Fair pay for dancers, designers, and collaborators

  • Rehearsal and performance space

  • Touring and residency expenses

  • Costumes, lighting, projections, and production design

  • Music licensing and technical production

  • Documentation and marketing

Thank you for supporting independent contemporary dance and helping NVA & Guests continue to grow.
