Cardell Dance Theater
Creating Imaginative Dance Performances for Social Change
Cardell Dance Theater is an ensemble that gathers artists to create imaginative and thought-provoking dance performances. Led by Silvana Cardell, the company creates projects addressing social justice issues, as she passionately believes that artistic expression and imagination can promote essential global change.
With each project, the company creates performances exploring topics and challenging systems of oppression through its unique brand of creativity and artistry.
The arts have the potential to bring people together to create a more just and equitable society. I explore social justice issues beyond human-centric perspectives, including animal rights and environmental justice. I critically examine the value of bodies, borders, and territories by challenging hierarchical orders.
