The Blanket, co-directed by Caitlin Scranton and Matt Pardo, is a producing organization that exists to expand and improve dance in Pittsburgh. It seeks to help artists realize collaborative projects that bridge the gap between Pittsburgh and the greater dance community. The Blanket commissions choreographers and artists from the wider dance world to create work on Pittsburgh dancers, in Pittsburgh venues, in collaboration with Pittsburgh artists/organizations. They will facilitate and produce new projects and bring revivals to Pittsburgh, giving local artists and audiences the opportunity to experience (and take part in) the very broad spectrum of the dance as an art form.

New Sun Rising empowers networks of business + project leaders to create vibrant communities of opportunity. Click here to learn more about their fiscal sponsorship program.
