2020-2021 SEASON - Wellspring Dance
“Art enables us to find ourselves
    and lose ourselves at the same time.”
    — Thomas Merton

Welcome!
    Wellspring is very excited to be celebrating our 40th year as a
    unique and authentic voice in modern dance and a pillar of our
    local arts community. We have withstood many ups and downs
    over the years, including this year’s COVID19 shutdown. And
    as in prior years, we have applied intelligence, perseverance
    and determination to push forward in service of our mission,
    students, partners, audience and community. As one of
    America’s oldest modern dance companies and a distinguished
    place where dance is offered right here in Kalamazoo, we are
    proud to have carried out our commitment to produce, inspire,
    teach and deliver great art over all these years.

    Wellspring believes in the power of art and what it means to
    our lives and our culture; it is where we find our purpose and
    how we discover meaning in this oftentimes crazy and chaotic
    world. We must find beauty both around and within us despite
    the challenges life presents, and to interpret it in ways that
    move us intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.

    We can’t thank you enough for standing with us! With
    your continued support we will carry on creating engaging
    dance that celebrates the human condition and the
    essence of our time.

    Sincerely,

    Judah Gesmundo
    Wellspring Board President
