Give to The Hart

ALL ABOUT THE ARTS

Cincinnati’s premier dance ensemble MamLuft&Co. Dance purchased a 1.5 acre property in December of 2019 before the pandemic.

The organization, under its new name, Mutual Dance Theatre, announces its planned relocation to a new arts center, The Hart.

The Hart will help Mutual Dance Theatre to fulfill its vision of becoming an arts center that will provide Cincinnati with a much needed space appropriate for Modern Dance, working along with neighboring communities though creative collaborations.

Mutual Dance Theatre will must raise $750,000 in order to underwrite the creation of a black-box theater designed specifically for Modern Dance along with essential updates.

For further information contact Mutual Dance Theatre‘s Artistic and Executive Director Jeanne Mam-Luft at jeanne@mutualarts.org

Tax-deductible donations are much needed to bring this project to fruition. They can be made at mutualdance.org/mergerdonate.
