Mission Statement

The Dorcas Román DanceTheatre is a multidisciplinary organization created to evoke and provoke cultural enrichment and appreciation of the arts.  The company is strongly committed to the creation, promulgation, and presentation of performing arts in innovative and challenging ways.  The company’s goal is to make dance, theater, and other performing arts accessible to communities, which generally would not have the opportunity to experience live art.  It is also part of the company’s mission to create a link with different communities. 

Although the company has a very strong link with the Puerto Rican community, The company is formed by a diverse group of artists from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, who want to make art accessible and essential to all communities. Art needs to be perceived not just as a privilege but as a necessity from which one we can create political, economic, sexual, racial, and social awareness as well as a way to explore our creativity and dreams to make this a better society.
