GHDT is the professional modern dance company based in Carmel, Indiana. In September of 2009, the company accomplished two milestones. 1) GHDT moved into its new daily rehearsal space, located at329 Gradle Drive in Carmel (literally in the backyard of The Palladium). 2) Opened The Academy of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre in Carmel. The year -round Academy offers high quality training in Ballet, Pointe, Modern dance, Jazz, Character dance and Ethnic dance forms. The Academy of GHDT is the only dance academy in the state to be affiliated with a full -time professional dance company. The company has created a unique niche for itself in Central Indiana through its commitment to present high quality dance programming that is fused with relevant cultural, social, historical and spiritual content. The company maintains extremely unique collaborations both locally and internationally. Prior to the company's new rehearsal space, GHDT was a resident company at The Performer's Edge in Carmel for 12 years. The Academy of GHDT will also serve as a performance space for "black box" style theatre events where audiences are provided with an "up -close and personal" view of dance. In February of 2010 the company presented three weekends of UNDER THE BIG TOP at the Academy in. Carmel. In addition to the professional company being housed at The Academy of GHDT, the space also serves as a home for G2, the "pre professional" student company of GHDT. This company will present concerts in Carmel in May. The company's Artistic Director, Gregory Hancock is a long -time resident of Carmel. Mr. Hancock has provided Central Indiana audiences with high caliber modern dance programming for many years. His company, GHDT, is the only professional modern dance company in Indiana that has toured to Europe. He has taken his company to the prestigious International Baltic Ballet Festival in Riga, Latvia where the company received rave reviews to sold -out houses and performed for the Latvian head of state and other foreign dignitaries. The company's first tour to India is currently being planned with Mr. Hancock traveling and working in India during the month of March 2010. Mr. Hancock has received numerous awards and honors for his work including two Creative Renewal Fellowships from Lilly Endowment, Master Artist Fellowships from the Indiana Arts Commission and international fellowships from ArtsLink and the Citizen Exchange Council in NYC. Mr. Hancock was awarded the Outstanding Choreographer Award at the Youth American Grand Prix in NYC, an international ballet competition of over 8,000 competitors. The selection of GHDT as a resident company in at the Regional Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel will bring a wealth of talent, creativity and distinction to the City of Carmel. GHDT is looking forward to presenting more of its work to residents when the company performs at the new Regional Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The company currently has a long -time association with the Pike Performing Arts Center. The rent the company currently pays is considerably less than rent at the new center in Carmel. We greatly desire to be the resident dance company in the new center, however, the company will need a great deal of financial assistance to cover the increased expense. Please accept this letter as our formal application for a grant request to assist with operating costs of GHDT's programming. Thank you and all the residents of Carmel for your vision and perseverance in creating an enduring legacy of beauty and culture in the heartland of America.
