Help DSDT/Studio 210 Survive & Thrive in 2026

Our goal is to raise $20,000 by the end of the year - Can we count on you to help us achieve it?

We are so proud of the year we had and of all the brilliant artists who participated in our programs. We could not do this without your support!

In 2025 we:

Welcomed hundreds of audience members to Studio 210 and our livestreams for DSDT and Studio 210 Residency performances.
Presented nine performances of DSDT’s newest work, SHOUT IN THE DARK: A Guide to Hope & Good Grief at Studio 210. Over three weekends, our community came together to witness an exploration of hope through powerful performances by Emma Andre, William Brewton Fowler Jr., Colin Frederick, Anna Greenberg Gold, Nol Simonse, and Deborah Slater.
Hosted two Studio 210 Residency cycles with Resident Artists Cyrah L. Ward, Tracey Lindsay Chan, Janesta Edmonds, and Clairey Evangelho, each receiving over $9,000 in financial support and services to create, produce, market, and document their work. We were thrilled to have Yayoi Kambara as Guest Mentor for the winter Residency cycle.
Produced four Studio 210 Residency performances, featuring contemporary dance, dance theater, ritual, and choreographic research.
Celebrated Studio 210’s 45 anniversary with an evening of food, drink, community and performances by past Studio 210 Residents Hector Jaime, Nol Simonse, and Surabhi Bharadwaj.
Provided class, rehearsal, and work space to 46 different artists/organizations at Studio 210.

We have so much more in store for the coming year , and we need your help to make it happen!

If you believe in the artistic work we make, the community we create, and the artists we uplift, support, and provide an artistic home to, please donate today. We have never needed the generosity of our community more.
