Red Clay Dance, Chicago’s premier Afro-contemporary dance company, is an award-winning ensemble of versatile and dynamic dance Artivists that tour and perform locally, nationally, and internationally. The company is the brainchild of Vershawn Sanders-Ward, the institutions’ Founding Artistic Director & CEO.

Red Clay Dance is committed to taking its signature “Artivism in Motion” from the stage into learning environments, with community engagement serving as a vital part of its creative process and village-building work. Over its 17-year history, the company has toured and performed at venues such as the Jacob’s Pillow, The Yard, The Harris Theater for Music & Dance, Dance Center of Columbia College, the DuSable Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, ODC Theater, Dance Mission Theater, The Painted Bride, Joyce Soho, and the National Theater of Uganda.
