SUMMARY:Putting Out The Welcome Mat\, Again!
DESCRIPTION:Buoyed by all of the successes of ESDC’s 35th anniversary series\, Putting Out the Welcome Mat\, ESDC will continue during its 2026-2027 season with additional performances within the greater Capital Region while also expanding by offering shows in the other four counties in the Capital Region (Fulton\, Montgomery\, Schoharie & Washington).\n  \nAbout the Series\, Putting Out the Welcome Mat\nFrom September 19\, 2025 to July 1\, 2026\, this project engaged ESDC in thirty-five free performances in locations mostly beyond traditional performance venues such as libraries\, community centers\, campuses\, parks\, playgrounds\, markets\, museums\, etc. where people were already gathered. The project served to increase dance activity in the region\, celebrate a local resource\, expose dance to a widespread population\, develop new audiences for dance and ensure that dance is not an underrepresented art form in the region. \n“ESDC’s mission is to build awareness of and appreciation for modern dance through ongoing commitment to creativity\, artistic/civic collaboration\, and education of new audiences. As we celebrated our 35th anniversary season\, Putting Out the Welcome Mat provided a means to share our art with a large and diverse audience and to thank the greater Capital Region for being such a welcoming place to call our home.” ~Ellen Sinopoli\, Artistic Director \n  \nView the program and donate \n  \nUpcoming Welcome Mat Performances for 2026-2027 Season:\n\nWednesday\, September 9\, 2026 at 12:15 PM\n\nAlbany’s Empire State Plaza Farmers Market (Outdoors – North End of Empire State Plaza) \n100 South Mall Arterial\, Albany\, NY 12242 \n\nSunday\, September 13\, 2026 at 3:00pm\n\nSouth End Children’s Café \n33 Rensselaer St\, Albany\, NY 12202 \n\nFriday\, September 25\, 2026 at 5:30 PM\n\nTroy Night Out – At Troy\, NY Sign \nRiver Street\, Troy\, NY 12180 \n\nSunday\, September 27\, 2026 at 2:00 PM\n\nHudson Crossing Park \nCR-42\, Schuylerville\, NY 12871 \n  \nClick Here to View the Previous 35th Anniversary Season Performance Locations \n  \nThank you to our sponsors: \nNYS DanceForce \nDance Alliance\, Inc. \nHoward & Bush Foundation \nUpstate Theater Coalition for a Fairgame Grant Program \nStewart’s Shops \nEd Swyer \n  \nThis project is made possible with funds from the NYS DanceForce\, a partnership program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature. \n
