Chadash Contemporary Dance Movement
Share
We are a professional dance theatre company, led by Founding Artistic Director, Kelly Archer.
The Hebrew verb Chadash comes from a primitive root word that means to be new; to rebuild-- renew, repair, and restore. We are a new professional company in the Denver area passionate about our mission..."to stand in the ashes of the barn burned down,and point to the moon, one foot in suffering, one foot in hope."

We are about three weeks away from our annual One Foot in Hope fundraiser which will take place on Sunday evening, August 2nd, and we are so excited! As we begin to plan which pieces we will perform, finalize our programming, and get the food ordered, more memories are flooding back from last year and what a fun night it was!
A few details we want to highlight about this year's event:
+The incredible venue. Set in the heart of downtown, in the Dairy Block, Blanchard Family Wines is a hip yet cozy venue with an indoor/outdoor feel, perfect for summer evenings!
+Amazing wine from Blanchard Family Wines. Each ticket purchased for the fundraiser includes a ticket for a glass of one of Blanchard's award-winning wines.
+For each bottle of wine purchased at the event, Blanchard will donate 25% of that back to Chadash.
+Delicious food. Enough said.
+A drawing for some fun prizes!
+Silent auction. This year, we have some great items, including massage, art pieces, ladies tea certificate, a Blanchard date night, and a Chadash gift basket.
+Live testimonies from some of our Chadash dancers and apprentices about why Chadash means so much to them.
+And, of course, our incomparable dancers performing pieces from the last ten years of Chadash concerts.
+Last but not least, each ticket purchased for the fundraiser includes a ticket to our August production, H(You)mane.
+We can't wait to see you there!

We are a month away from the culmination of 10 years of Chadash! We can't wait for the Family to get back into the studio to re-visit, re-live, and re-create some of our favorite pieces from the last decade. H(You)mane will be an unforgettable experience! Nine different aspects of what it means to be human will be pondered through notable works of visual art from throughout the ages and then brought to life onstage through movement, spoken word, film and more. We can't wait to see you there and to celebrate the past as well as the glorious future of Chadash! The link for tickets and more info is below!
