New York, NY - The service organization Dance/NYC is pleased to announce the release of its latest research report, Defining "Small-Budget" Dance Makers in a Changing Dance Ecology, a quantitative and qualitative analysis prepared in collaboration with Carrie Blake and Nelie Jacques from Webb Mgmt. With leadership support from the New York Community Trust, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the study aims to further understand the unique characteristics, inner-workings and needs of "small-budget" dance, already known to be more diverse, resourceful and nimble than the metropolitan New York City area dance field as a whole.  The findings are multi-dimensional, deeply influenced by the pervasive impacts of racism and inequality and the profound impacts of the pandemic. The report calls for collective action in order to move this segment of the field from a place of surviving to a place of thriving.
