As a part of general outreach efforts, Ms. Nelson, Ms. Way and the ODC dancers offer ongoing workshops, performances and lectures to a number of groups while on tour and with special focus on local community partners including:
- San Francisco State University
- Mills College
- Berkeley High School
- Academy of Art College
- Oxbow School in Napa
- San Francisco Main Library
- The Equal Justice Society
- The Exploratorium
- Cesar Chavez Elementary School
- Buena Vista Elementary School
- 7 Tepees
- June Jordan School for Equity
- School of the Arts (SOTA)
- Edgewood Center for Children & Families
General outreach efforts, similar in philosophy to the Four-Part Program, place great emphasis on creative interaction with ODC’s artistic staff. Larger groups are accommodated with lecture-demonstrations, distance learning programs, short concerts and community choreography projects.
