With a culturally diverse team of artists, we create educational opportunities and artistic experiences that foster collaboration and inclusion and promote critical thinking. Together, we develop performing arts works that reflect social realities that concern people, relationships, and social justice. Our primary purpose is to interpret these issues and use our work to propel change. DA participated in numerous festivals, performance series, and residencies in New York and abroad, including the Center at West Park’s Evolution Festival, Take Root at Green Space, Under Exposed at Dixon Place, the Women Center Stage Festival, Festival FIDCDMX in Mexico City, and Ticino in Danza in Ticino, Switzerland. DA has self-produced and presented several full-length works, including “Pathways & Architecture” (2025), “The Price is Right (De-Valued)” (2024), “BLINDSPOT” (2019), “BMH” (2018), and “Game Night” (2015). DA's awards include the Brooklyn Arts Council Community Fund, the City Artist Corps, and the LMCC Creative Engagement Grant. Through DA, Carmen Caceres produces the DA Garden Series, a performance event held at her home-built garden dance floor, which welcomes artists from diverse disciplines to showcase short works rooted in improvisation and spontaneous composition practices. https://www.carmencaceres.com/about
