Mission Statement

As a former performing musician, Jamie Ray Wright brings a unique vision to the marriage of music and movement.

The DanceWright Project was founded in 2006, with a goal to encourage a cross disciplinary partnership, between new and upcoming music composers with dance movement.

Using musical works from cutting edge composers, new dances are created using the ballet vocabulary. As the music steps out of the ordinary, so do the dances being created, slipping modern dance steps into the classical ballet line.

Each home season the company invites amateurs, pre professionals and professional dance groups to bring their choreography to the stage. This invitation allows for the new choreographer to present their works in a stage setting and also give the seasoned choreographer, unable to afford a home season a place to try out their new works.

Bringing new works of dance and music not heard or seen by the general dance community is the final goal. Enlarging the audience of both the music and dance aficionado, to go out and view a dance group they have never seen or buy a CD from a musician they have never heard of.
