Justice Dance Performance Project, Inc. Moving for Change Since 1989 The Justice Dance Performance Project Inc.

(JDPP) was founded in 1989 as a nonprofit umbrella organization based in Hartford, Connecticut, to provide support for individual artists. JDPP sees its role in the community as further building a diverse and innovative cultural mix of offerings at the highest professional level and giving voice to populations who have been silent or unheard. The work of the organization endeavors to reach the hea

rts and minds of those involved whether as audience or workshop participants in a process that reminds us of our collective humanity. Over the twenty years of JDPP’s history, we have developed a mix of programmatic offerings that all work towards our mission of innovative, inspiring, educational and collaborative art making rooted in the belief that the arts can be a powerful agent for change in our culture. The Justice Dance Performance Ensemble, the 'Moving Matters!' residency program, and the Reaching Out artist mentoring program comprise JDPP's offerings.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth—a day to commemorate the end of a very long, dark period of history in our country. It is a time to stop and reflect—to think of the past, and also of our future. Juneteenth is an opportunity to create an educational bridge and a reminder to us all of our nations constant, ongoing struggle for true equality and justice.

Here are a few local upcoming events in honor of Juneteenth:

Friday, June 19, 11am-4pm—6th Annual Liberation Day Celebration at Harbor Park in Middletown.

Saturday, June 20, 6-7:30pm—Juneteenth Celebration with FriendzWorldMusic at Hillstead Museum in Farmington, featuring JDPP’s ArtsReach Supervisor, Mellissa Craig!

North Madison Congregational Church was kind enough to gift JDPP a shawl filled with prayers and well-wishes to Judy and our entire community, after our performance of Unmuting. Several of our staff and ensemble members have already been comforted by it. We cherish partnership throughout our community and are honored by NMCC's generosity. Donating to JDPP helps us maintain our partnerships and return the generosity shared with us. Donate today! https://tinyurl.com/JDPPBirdies2026
