Dandelion Arts Collective
Promoting and advancing health equity through the performing arts
-
I am a co-founder and member of Dandelion Arts Collective, an arts-in-public-health organization dedicated to increasing health equity and public health promotion through performing arts education. We believe that the performing arts can be used to foster health equity and social justice. We are a woman-owned, non-profit organization that uses theatre, movement, music, and many other performing arts modalities as public health teaching tools and to promote mental health and well-being. Our mission is to create a platform for self-expression and to provide an inclusive, brave, healing-centered space for communities to explore the human experience.
I lead the development of Dandelion Arts Collective’s NURTURE and PROPOGATE programs. Visit Dandelion Arts Collective to learn more about the work we’re doing in the North Denver-metro and Boulder areas.
