MKE DANCE THEATRE NETWORK 

stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, and acknowledges the urgent need for community and global awareness as well as immediate change and action surrounding the support of the Black community and Artists of Color.  MDTN denounces any form of racism and injustice, and instead is committed and determined to moving forward to increase inclusion, visibility and celebration of Artists of Color.

As such, we have pledged to create a space for our artistic community: independent artists, collaborators, organizations, and community members to support, connect and enhance their network across Wisconsin during these difficult times during the 2021 season.
