At every level, KYL/D counts on an ever-expanding support network of donors, audience members, fans and organizations to sustain and grow our core programs for the community. These programs include:

Artistic Creation and Performance: KYL/D’s ensemble of professional dance artists regularly rehearse and perform throughout Philadelphia and beyond, sharing the company’s unique vision of dance across communities.

Community Engagement: The Open Studio Series invites the public to view KYL/D’s works-in-progress, followed by conversations about the creative process with the artists. Story Circles invite community members of various backgrounds to share information through dialogue, movement and music which often inform the creation of the company’s next work.

Education and Outreach: The CHI Dance program is KYL/D’s mindfulness-based movement curriculum modeled after Kun-Yang Lin’s signature CHI Awareness Practice. This program serves over 350 students weekly through free classes in 5 public schools within the School District of Philadelphia.

Services for Artists: The InHale Performance Series is a quarterly performance showcase where selected artists receive free performance space, marketing support, technical assistance and audience feedback.To date, KYL/D has presented over 1,000 artists in PA and beyond. As well, CHI Movement Arts Center provides subsidized rental programs to ensure safe spaces for communities to engage with one another.
