Support Lawton Dance Collective's 2025 Season

Hello! My name is Julia Lawton, and I am the founder and Artistic Director of Lawton Dance Collective. Since getting started in September 2024, we have experienced such a beautiful outpouring of love and support. Thank you for being a part of our community and supporting us in creating and sharing our art. All donations go directly into our production costs. These include rehearsal space, costumes, technical needs, and dancer compensation. Every bit makes a huge difference. Thank you for your generosity and love. We cannot wait to continue connecting with you this year. Learn more by following our instagram @lawtondancecollective and checking out our website https://lawtondancecollective.com.

A little bit about our work!

Lawton Dance Collective is a New York-based, project-centered dance company. Our focus is on the development and presentation of new choreography, through research-driven creative investigation. LDC is committed to fostering a positive creative environment for dance artists, emphasizing collaboration and open dialogue throughout every process.

We had a busy opening season filled with creation, performing, and lots of love! In 2024, we performed at Arts On Site, SCDT Northampton's "5 Minutes Max" Festival, Forager Theater Company's "This Wild and Precious Life" Summers End Dance Concert, Steffi Nossen Choreography Showcase, and hosted our Inaugural Gala!

2025 is filled with even more exciting events. We hope to see you there!
