2026 choreographic commission

David Morse

This season opens a new threshold for Dayton Dance Initiative: our first-ever choreographic commission, extending beyond Dayton to support the work of David Morse. Rooted in trust, time, and exchange, this commission reflects our belief that connection — like light — travels, arrives, and reshapes the space it enters.

This commission is made possible through the Allegro Fund of The Dayton Foundation of which Dayton Dance Initiative is an esteemed recipient in 2026.
