DC Dogs

DC Dogs is a multi-media performing arts troupe in Washington, D.C. Our mission, since our informal inception in 2001, has been the production of artistic projects including live theater, music, radio and film. Over the past 8 years, DC Dogs have produced over 20 short films (several award winning), 2 music CDs, numerous live performances and have taught several classes and mentored many students in filmmaking and photography. Together with our partner, Theater Lab, DC Dogs have been involved with the “Life Stories” project for at-risk youth, helping incarcerated young men to tell their stories through films they write and produce. As a formal organization, DC Dogs will expand its capacity for production and adult and youth education. Embracing the internet era, DC Dogs will launch a website (this one!) that includes a function for on-line training in such things a photography, film production, special effects and scoring. This free resource, together with our formal classes will enable us to help potential artists of all ages in Washington find creative outlet and bring their visions to light. DC Dogs will always be inclusive of those populations in the city traditionally underserved by arts organizations through scholarships for classes and productions, mentoring in the context of productions and innovative equipment loan programs for aspiring photographers and filmmakers. Finally, DC Dogs will remain true to its roots as a performing arts troupe providing high quality films, music and theater in Washington. DC Dogs will produce the works of independent musicians, playwrites and filmmakers thereby expanding the pool of creative professionals in the area while providing enduring entertainment.
