DUST Dance Collective is a contemporary dance company based in Tucson, AZ with a focus on producing video dance media. Our dancers are of mixed levels and backgrounds, making our collective truly unique. Our mission is to carry dance like a dust storm: as a force to ignite and unite movement with art & media.
Mapping Q is an innovative community arts education program that invites LGTBQ+ youth to explore representations of self within the Museum. The participants map the Museum and the work within, then create original art works in response to their discoveries, adding their unique voices to the story. This program is produced in partnership with the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation.
