Programs
Professional Presentations
DANCE BASED WORKS
Professional Presentations is the company's founding program, flexibly supporting the creation and performance of original works by the company's artists. Many of these works have been directed by Rachel Damon with input from the ensemble and collaborators, though in recent years the company has expanded to support works by many choreographers. Synapse's site-specific pieces bring dance to unique spaces and make the artform accessible to all.
-Crosswalk Dances
-Mural Dances
-Dance Films
-Performance pieces ranging from 15 to 75 minutes long
New Works
EMERGING CREATIVES
New Works has developed extensively since it's first version in 2010. Now the program is a biennial, 6-month long incubator for emerging and underrepresented artists. Up to three artists (or artist groups) are selected through a public request-for-proposals and panel review to receive commissions supported by rehearsal space, a dedicated mentor, professional development, fully-produced performances, and documentation. 23 works by women, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC makers have premiered to date, culminating in consistently sold-out performances of the new pieces developed by the supported artists.

Dance With Synapse is a local outreach and education program which serves families and professional dancers year-round and periodically provides intensive study at other locations through workshops and residencies.
