Everything we do-whether creative, pedagogical, community-oriented, or even managerial-serves this greater purpose. This mission uniquely defines all our work. Our vision is "A world where everyone is connected, informed, and inspired through the beauty and power of dance." We live in a world that has become divided in many ways: wealthy and poor, urban and rural, politically progressive and conservative, educated and uneducated. We see dance, grounded in the human body we all share, as a means of coming together communally. Moreover, we see dance as a vehicle for education and enlightenment. It can convey the truth amid the flurry of falsehoods. Finally, dance is not passive-for the audience as well as the dancer. Dance at its best can inform, build deep empathy, motivate and inspire action, and transform both participants and viewers. It is not just contemplation or artistic pleasure. Creating Dance: In 2023, Fran Spector Atkins continued developing her newest work, "Wildfires." She collaborated with Dr. Chad Hamill (Spokane Tribe), who composed original music for this piece, which highlights the Native American approach to managing fire and living in harmony with nature. "Wildfires" also shows how dance can build bridges among diverse parts of our community, help us to heal the past, and move into the future with greater understanding. Rehearsals for this project took place with SpectorDance Company dancers from October to December 2022 and from July to September 2023. "Wildfires' was performed at SpectorDance's Choreographers Showcase at the Outdoor Forest Theater in Carmel In October 2023. Along with two ticketed shows, we presented a Free Daytime Performance for local schools. We are continuing to develop this "Wildfires." We plan to offer associated movement workshops for audiences to explore themes from the piece through creative movement. The "Ocean Trilogy Project:" From January to March 2023, SpectorDance offered the "Ocean Trilogy Project," at Hartnell College. This project offered weekly creative movement workshops that explore how dance can express ocean science, heighten awareness, and promote stewardship. The workshops culminated in 16 live performances in King City and Salinas for over 4,000 youth. We aim to use this successful template for similar programs at other schools in the future. We are excited to employ dance and the arts to expand understanding of ocean health and to insprire our future "ocean action leaders." 40000 40000 Presenting Dance: In 2023, SpectorDance present our 3rd annual "Ocean Arts Festival" at the Monterey Museum of Art, featuring ocean-themed art in all genres created by young artists under the age of 24 years old. We celebrate the power of creativity to heighten awareness of ocean issues, sparking dialogue and inspiring action! 30000 30000 Establishing Partnerships: In 2023, key to offering our programs were our partnerships with the Monterey Museum of Art, Outdoor Forest Theater, and at Hartnell College. In 2023, we are thrilled to expand our partnership with the Stanton Theater in King City. We are now building on our past successes to create the King City Dance Week. We are also excited to continue our work with the Monterey Museum of Art to expand the "Ocean Arts Festival" throughout Monterey County. We are excited about a new partnership with the YMCA and Exit 12 Dance Company to develop a shared program in 2024 and 2025. 20000 20000 90000 Fran Spector-Atkins Artistic Director 40 72000 Dr Roger D Stewart Board Chair 2 0 Dr Jonathan Lipow Board Member 1 0 Amy Byington Board Member 2 0 Lucia Coppola Board Member 1 0 Connie Denault Boards Member 1 0 Shany Dagan Board Member 1 0 Charlotte Katherine Smith Board Member 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Dr Roger D Stewart c/o SpectorDance PO Box 223622 Carmel CA 939223622 8184698384 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 142638 183112 109709 128370 167659 731488 37486 8100 5178 8053 1146 59963 180124 191212 114887 136423 168805 791451 791451 3000 321 3321 180124 191212 114887 139423 169126 794772 0.99582 0.99591 0 0 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Interest income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Catering;250|Communication and Marketing;2087|Dues and Memberships;300|Insurance;1049|Office Supplies and Expenses;808|Payroll Processing Fees;826|Professional Development;1060|Relocation;950|Tax and Licenses;331|Travel;1301^Total;8962^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Description;Amount^Rounding entries;-2^Total;-2^
