The Richland College Dance Department welcomes the Big Rig Dance Collective.
The Big Rig Dance Collective was created to connect dance communities and promote dance as an art form in Texas. To make these connections possible, the company provides an online social network for artists to share their ideas, opportunities, and resources. BRDC’s long-term vision is to create a space in DFW where dance can happen. This includes: accessible performances, community classes, and collaborative events.
The company has performed throughout Texas for such events as Dance Carousel, Dancing to Restore the Gulf Benefit Concert, Barefoot Brigade, Big Range Dance Festival, 10 Minutes Max Dance Showcase, and Venturing Out: Far and Wi(l)de. Currently, they host a monthly performance series and dance discussion series in Denton, TX and are teaching, choreographing, and performing for residencies across Texas. The company is directed by Whitney Boomer, Crysta Caulkins-Clouse, Amanda Jackson, and Lily Sloan.
Artistic Director: L. Brooke Schlecte
Artistic Vision:
Out On a Limb Dance Company queries and challenges conceptual and technical ideas about dance-making. To this end, the dance company is a model of collaborating artists who work together to develop original, emerging dance languages that explore ideas about the nature of human experience.
