Shawl-Anderson Dance Center currently partners with two local organizations to support a yearly residency: the Black Choreographers Festival and the Bay Area International Deaf Dance Festival.
At this time, SADC has paused its other Artist in Residence offerings.
Since 2016, SADC has been working with BCF to select one or two artists a year to have a residency here at Shawl-Anderson Dance Center. Each artist receives 25 hours of space and a stipend. The 2024 Black Choreographers Festival Artist in Residence is Kendra Kimbrough Barnes.
We are proud that the Bay Area International Deaf Dance Festival began here in the SADC building! Now the festival flourishes throughout the Bay Area each summer. SADC partners with Antoine Hunter, the founder and director of BAIDDF, to offer a summer residency each year working towards the festival. This residency is comprised of 50 hours of space and a stipend.
