Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (2)
- $11,331 spent. False Tongues Performances: August 2025 dance performances of False Tongues at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, exploring narrative pathways of the women accused of witchcraft globally in the 17th century. Through dance and performance, the show shares truth where there are misconceptions, finding empathy though lived experiences and examining a cautionary tale of mass hysteria, the dangers of superstition and the consequences of societal paranoia.
- Opine Dance Film Festival: Opine Dance Film Festival is an annual event that celebrates dance film makers locally, nationally, and internationally who are creating work with meaning. ODFF premieres short dance films which speak to wider themes of identity, defying conventions, crossing borders, and pushing boundaries. The program prioritizes both inclusion and diversity through the marriage of dance and film, while also emphasizing the democratization of socioeconomic, political, and identity driven conversations across cultures, contexts and locations.
