With a commitment to presenting works of socio-political relevance, BDT matches the talents of Boston-based dancers with those of acclaimed global choreographers, broadening the scope of contemporary dance practice and performance in our city. BDT is a registered 501(c)3 tax-exempt charity as of 2019.

“Some of the best contemporary dance the nation has to offer” -WBUR

Itzik Galili (The Netherlands, Israel), Marco Goecke (Germany), and Alessandro Sousa Pereira (Brazil, Denmark) have each been decorated by royalty for their unique contributions to the performing arts. Through a special relationship with Galili, Boston Dance Theater (BDT) is the only dance company in the world that performs a full evening by these distinguished choreographers. Man of the Hour, Memories, and Chameleon by Galili “explode through [the dancers] physicality.” Pereira created Delicate Blue and Awa for the dancers of BDT, set to original music. Goecke’s Peekaboo is a playful conclusion: “It’s a fun piece for BDT’s accomplished dancers and a fun end to the evening.” (press quotes from The Boston Globe).
