Moving for change since 1989, the Justice Dance Performance Project (JDPP) is a critically acclaimed dance and multi-arts organization. At its core, JDPP celebrates the dignity of all, the wisdom of the body, and the deep reflective capacity of the mind. It is founded on the belief that the arts provide light and hope that is vital in supporting individual and collective wellbeing.

JDPP is based in Hartford, Connecticut, under the artistic direction of founder Judy Dworin. The company’s award-winning work can be seen throughout New England in theaters, at colleges and universities, prisons, and inner-city schools. Its collaborative repertory has performed in major cities across the United States and Europe. JDPP’s public programs are a societal bridge, offering new perspectives, connections, and healing to diverse populations.

JDPP is committed to the inclusion of all persons across race, gender, religion, culture, age, physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, status as a military veteran and genetic information, and to building a more equitable society. We are committed to ending systemic racism and to approaching all of our work from an anti-racist stance.
