Judy Dworin Performance Project

Moving for Change Since 1989.

Judy Dworin Performance Project (JDPP) harnesses the arts as a powerful change agent and catalyst for collaboration and community. JDPP’s performances and residencies create spaces that release the imagination and allow deep reflection, constructive action and out of the box exploration of self and society. We celebrate the dignity of all beings, the wisdom of the body, the deep reflective capacity of the mind and the hopeful possibility that through the arts we can together work for and create a more positive world for the present moment and the future. In the darkest places we find inspiration and hope. Come join us!

A wonderful way to participate in Giving Tuesday!

Tomorrow, Executive & Artistic Director Judy Dworin and Diversity Coordinator & Ensemble Member Mellissa Craig will take part in Trinity College's Fall Bicentennial Symposium focusing on Memory, Presence, and Possibility.

For the inaugural symposium of the academic year, they invite Trinity College community members to explore the evolving relationship between place, identity, and ideas.

In honor of the Bicentennial, the event will provide time and space for intergenerational dialogue among faculty, staff, students, alumni, and Hartford community members.

This topic couldn't be more timely. So excited to see how it unfolds!

Show us your STICKERS!

It's Election Day! When I was a young girl I remember my Nana and Dad occasionally taking me with them to our polling location on Election Day and watching them vote. My nana told me every time, "you always have to vote, it is your duty".

Although at the time I didn't really know what it all meant, I did know that at the end they would get a sticker...the poll worker would give me one too and I would wear my "I Voted" sticker proudly! Many years later I know how important it is to participate in all elections, especially our local elections. It is not just my duty but it is my way of saying my voice and opinions matter too. So I still wear my "I Voted" sticker just as proudly today.

After you vote today, I encourage you to take a picture with your sticker and post it in the comments below.
