Cal Performances presents and produces outstanding artists from the Bay
Area, the United States, and around the world in performances and community
programs which promote excellence, innovation, diversity, education, and
community involvement, with the fundamental belief that the arts are vital to
our society locally, nationally, and internationally. Berkeley/Oakland
AileyCamp at Cal Performances is a program of the Education Department. Cal
Performances supports AileyCamp with an array of professional performing arts
services, including but not limited to marketing, public relations, facilities
including Zellerbach Auditorium, and a full professional technical
staff.
AileyCamp is a nationally proven arts education program that
uses dance as a vehicle for developing self-esteem, creative expression, and
critical thinking skills among 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students (aged 11-14) from underserved
communities. AileyCamp also provides exceptional dance training to middle
school students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The project was
inspired by the work of the late Alvin Ailey, internationally renowned dance
artist, choreographer, and founder of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. Please visit http://calperformances.org/community/aileycamp/ to learn more about
