Safos Dance Theatre
House of Neighborly Service
Modern Dance unique to the U.S./Mexico Borderlands
Safos Dance Theatre is an emerging non-profit modern dance company founded in Tucson, AZ in 2009. We encourage the fusion of diverse genres of dance as well as the emerging of dance with other art forms in order to establish new expressions reflective of our communal experiences on the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. Safos uses spoken word from different languages without translation to portray the bilingual experience and provides a space for performance of different ethnic experiences. Our art is community-based; Safos artists live and create in the same spaces where our audience members live and work. This enables our artists to give a voice to our common experiences, which may be different than that of other communities. We provide a safe space and serve as a much needed nontraditional outlet for local ethnic minority artists who are currently not participating in other companies.
HNS is a faith inspired non-profit service organization serving the people of South Tucson. HNS offers child/family programs, recreational activities, balletfolkorico, senior programs, after-school literacy programs and summer children camp program. HNS is located in the heart of the City of South Tucson, a 1.2 square mile municipality completely surrounded by the City of Tucson. The community is a blend of long term residents with deep roots in the community and newly arrived immigrants. Community members take great pride in the cultural heritage of South Tucson.
Safos and HNS partnership ended shorthly after the mural project was completed when HNS came under new ownership.
