Pamela Trokanski Dance Theatre
|
The Pamela Trokanski Dance Theatre is a post- modern, contemporary dance company based in Davis, California. Since its first concert in spring 1985, the PTDT has presented fall and spring concerts each year. Also, it has performed throughout Northern California, including Sacramento, San Francisco and Nevada City.
In addition to its concert series, the PTDT presents lecture/demonstrations for elementary school children. "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Dance (but were afraid to ask), Athleticism and Dance," and "The Art of Dancing Art," have been funded, at various times, by the City of Davis' Arts Contract program, US Bank, Davis Waste Removal, and the PTDT. These programs have provided movement education to "standing room only" audiences since 1994. Become a fan on Facebook.

"Pamela Trokanski would seem to be a choreographer who can make dances out of anything." --Sacramento Bee
"It is those intimate disclosures that set fire to the dance floor." --Sacramento Bee
