1) providing a model of support for professional choreographic creativity within a comprehensive research university.

2) providing choreographers access to a stimulating environment where experimentation, exploration and life-long learning are both valued and encouraged, and

3) providing opportunities for the students, staff, and faculty, the community of Tallahassee and the national dance field at large to engage with the creative process in dance.
