THELMA HILL PERFORMANCE ARTS CENTER BACKGROUND

In 1976, visionary Larry Phillips brought a group of committed dancers and choreographers together to create an organization, which would offer the Brooklyn community a creative performance outlet that is not only experimental and cultural but family oriented as well. He named the young talented group of artists after brilliant educator and dancer, Thelma Hill.

Over the past 29 years, Thelma Hill Performing Arts Center (THPAC) has been a staple in the Brooklyn Summer Arts Season, providing dancers with a forum where they can explore their art and share it with a diverse community. THPAC has developed exceptional programs, on in which their “ alumni”, who have gone on to successful careers as dancers and choreographers, both here and abroad, return to the space where they once flourished, to impart what they have learned onto new artists.

Located in the Triangle Theater of Long Island University in downtown Brooklyn, the Thelma Hill season runs throughout the month of June, has a reach of 14,000 people through its yearly mailer, email, and physical audience. It is one of the most exceptional multi-cultural institutions of dance and the performing arts in New York City. With tickets being only $15, the June=THPAC Souls of our Feet People of Color Dance Festival is widely attended by the dance community and New Yorkers who take part in summer city cultural affairs.

Although THPAC has been in existence for many years, this may be the center’s final season due to limited funding. With adequate support and funding, THPAC can continue to provide opportunities for artists of all backgrounds and create programs that will allow them to enhance their skills and talents.
