DSW’s programming model facilitates dancemaking from ideation to presentation. Each program focuses on a different aspect of the creative process while generating synergetic flow between aspects.
PROGRAM BROCHURE
2026-2027
This season, we are focusing more intently than ever on independent projects. We are pouring all of our energy and resources into two core initiatives, the Research Lab and Special Projects.
Less noise, more focus. Tailored to support you and your craft.
RESEARCH LAB 2026
DSW’s Research Lab 2026 is the ultimate incubator for your next dance project. If you are eyeing DSW’s Special Projects funding (or any other grant, residency, or presentation opportunity), this is your launchpad. It is designed to support your vision, on your terms.
