CBDC is based in NYC
From June 1994 - June 2010, Cindy Brandle worked as a Choreographer/Teacher/Arts Administrator in Chicago. She relocated to Boulder in July 2010. The Cindy Brandle Dance Company, formed in September 2004, is under the Artistic Direction of Cindy Brandle. Influenced by human nature and events of the world unfolding around us CBDC strives to create dances that reflect our times by engaging the audience with athletic, compassionate, and vigorous choreography. CBDC’s goals are to create innovative and intimate work that is relevant to society and the world in which we inhabit, present dance at its highest quality, and encourage our audience to experience modern dance with open and accepting eyes. Brandle and CBDC have been on a very specific trajectory and to this date have been following it successfully. Brandle and CBDC have created twelve evening-length concerts to critical acclaim. It is the goal of the Artistic Director to continue to delve into evenings of work based on a singular theme and to take the audience through an emotional journey. Brandle was a grateful Artist-In-Residence at Hamlin Park through the Chicago Moving Company for 5 years. From April 1995 to August 2004 Brandle danced for CMC and served as Co-Artistic Director for the last five of those years. In 1999 and 2006 she received a fellowship for choreography from the Illinois Arts Council and has been awarded three CAAP grants from the City of Chicago. CBDC has also received funding from the Illinois Arts Council for their concert works, “In the Eye of Stillness”(2005) and "Searching for SuperGirl" (2009). Her work has been presented throughout Chicago, the Midwest, and Colorado and internationally in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, Brazil. In November 2001 Brandle’s choreography was presented in the XXII INBA/UAM Choreographic Festival in Mexico City. A Boulder-based contemporary/modern dance company since 2010, CBDC has been supported by the Boulder Arts Commission, the Boulder County Arts Alliance, Tebo Properties, and Kinesis Dance. Brandle is an experienced master teacher focusing on advanced modern dance technique for professional dancers as well as leading many highly successful adult performance workshops. CBDC is a 501(c) 3 organization

There’s a lot going on in the world and I think Chicago is trying to hide from it all.

Beware: Big Big Photo Dump

I haven’t acknowledged this yet, because it’s been a bit of rough going, but my beloved non-profit, Cindy Brandle Dance Company, just achieved its 20th anniversary. It is my deepest hope that I will somehow be able to revive it. CBDC is my passion project and one of my greatest career achievements.
Here is to all the dancers, composers, filmmakers, poets, contributors, donors, board members, and audience members who brought my visions to life - I couldn’t have done it without you, and I love you all so much.

Hadestown is my absolute favorite musical theater show/experience. I’ve been lucky enough to see it numerous times - a couple of times with the OG cast. It is a show that hits all the right notes for me - musically, emotionally. Ani DiFranco is my absolute favorite singer/songwriter. Her music and lyrics hit me deep in my soul! When it was announced a few months back that she would take on the role of Persephone I simply couldn’t resist finding an affordable ticket as a birthday present to myself. I just returned from seeing the show and, as always, it did not disappoint. The current cast is stellar and Ani was amazing! What a treat on a cold Wednesday afternoon!
