Mission/Auditions
Mission Statement
Resurrection Dance Company (RDC) is founded and directed by Wenda L. Koon in 2002 {company was under a different name}. RDC has a wide array of dance - ballet, lyrical, jazz, contemporary, abstract, and elements of modern and African; as well other genres. We are interested in remembering artists who have left an impact in the world. Artists such as Michael Hutchence of INXS, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, and Layne Staley of Alice In Chains hold important value to RDC. Our choreography, music selection, and shows reflect the importance of their exsistance, and for them to live on.
Also, RDC's portion of the mission revolves around the AIDS epidemic in Africa, as well as starvation, poverty, and disease. RDC became immensed in the campaign's ONE and Make Poverty History, and the Artistic Director is a strong suporter of both causes. While the mission is split into two different areas, the company aspires to inform the public, serving humanity, and remembering great people as well.
By everyone putting selflessness out in front, we can save many people who do not have the luxery we as Americans do. Be a humantarian, not a mediocure person.
Humananity = saving others Selfishness = killing others and yourself
NOTE: This is a slightly different version of our original statement.
