About ClancyWorks: ClancyWorks Dancers join together and celebrate from all over the globe. Each brings a different cultural and economic perspective, yet together they build a working and learning environment where all can safely exchange points of view. Specific to Clancy's creative process is an exploration of architecturally informed partnering work that uses dance to further pedagogical practices by promoting tolerance, teamwork, community activism, and individual empowerment. Partnering is not only the artistic strength of the company, but also the baseline of their organizational work! From the partnering of physical objects, to the partnering of ideas, evident is Clancy's use of partnering work not only as an aesthetic statement, but also as a symbol of trust and support. See www.clancyworks.org for more information.
