SPEAKING OF DANCE has been serving Colorado since 1993. SPEAKING OF DANCE entertains and educates the public through performances, residencies and workshops. The company produces the choreography of its artistic director, Deborah Reshotko, a choreographer interested in exploring concrete subject matter through dance, storytelling and music. SPEAKING OF DANCE is committed to using dance as a tool for community outreach and bringing diverse groups of people together, sometimes as performers, sometimes as viewers and participants in discussions about dances that the company performs. The philosophy of SOD is that choreography and performance are vehicles for examining social issues and for celebrating the joy and drama of being human.
