Dedicated to the lifecycle of the artistic process, ODC Theater aims to inspire audiences, cultivate artists, engage community, and foster diversity and inclusion through dance. true false 421383 138204 Despite the significant disruptions and challenges of COVID-19 in 2020, ODC Theater found innovative and effective ways to deliver its mission and maintain its earned reputation as a nationally significant incubator for emerging and mid-career artists, a dynamic leader in the national dance conversation, and as a vital West Coast hub of mentorship and innovation in contemporary dance. Shortly after COVID-19 health and safety restrictions shuttered all live, in-person dance activity in mid-March, ODC Theaters Director, Julie Potter, left her role to relocate to the EU. ODC took the opportunity to assess how its future leadership and curatorial structure can further ODCs on-going commitment to be an instrument of equity in the Bay Area dance ecosystemwith impact far beyond the Bay Area region. Long-time Theater Programming & Operations Manager, Chlo L. Zimberg, assumed the new role of Creative Director of the ODC Theater with the mandate to design and implement a new strategic approach to programming. Key components are evolving the organization away from a single curatorial viewpoint and into a more inclusive model that welcomes artistic collaboration and leadership from parties outside and across ODCs community as well as showcasing an increasingly dynamic array of artists who reflect the full spectrum of voices, perspectives, and experiences of regional and national dance artists and their collaborators through commissioning, presenting, mentorship, and access to discounted and in-kind dance making and performance space. Numerous professionals who are now recognized as luminaries in the field received their debut presentations from ODC Theater. This roster includes: Eiko & Koma, Bill T. Jones, Sarah Michelson, John Heginbotham, Andrea Miller (Gallim Dance), Emily Johnson and Bodytraffic. ODC Theater honored all of its commitments to present dance artists to whom it issued contracts for the 2020 year, by inviting artists to transform their presentations to virtual/digital format when possible and/or to delay their presentations until health and safety mandates preventing in-person performance were lifted. ODC Theater transformed its annual theater festival into a virtual format scheduled for June 2021, allowing artists sufficient time to transform works intended to be staged, in-person performances into dance films designed for digital dissemination. The ODC Theater provided dynamic support to these artists through the process. ODC Theater also continued its Residence Artist program, which fosters the artistic growth and organizational capacity of a cohort of Bay Area dance artists over a three-year period and culminates in a paid presentation by each Resident Artist. 2020 marked the transition from year two to year three of the residency for ODCs current cohort, which includes Larry Arrington, Antoine Hunter, Daiane Lopes da Silva and Weidong Yang, and Lauren Simpson. The cohort reflects ODC Theaters commitment to aesthetic and equity. To support the current cohort through the disruption of COVID-19, including, in some cases, physical relocation and the need to shelter long-term without access to traditional work in the dance field, ODC Theater facilitated responsive listening sessions and developed customized, adaptive responses based on artists needs for the year 2020 and beyond. When it was not possible for artists to work on their commissioned pieces to convert their work to digital formats, ODC Theater redeveloped its presenting calendar for 2021 and 2022 to accommodate the timing and creative needs of these artists. ODC worked with these artists through 2020 and will continue to do so past the original residency conclusion if/as needed to ensure that each member has meaningful access to art-making and performance space, the ability to participate in a choreographic response team, capacity building/administrative mentorship, the opportunity to host an administrative fellow and compensated participation in an annual retreat, and technical residencies and preview performances (or broadcasts). In any year, these opportunities constitute important support at every level of the creative process and are designed to promote long-term capacity, resilience, and sustainability. In 2020, these concepts took on a fundamental new meaning and urgency. ODC Theaters commitment to fulfill both the intention of the residencies and deliver its key components was a profound achievement in the face of extreme organizational uncertainty.In 2020, ODC was also able to maintain its commitment to retain Sima Belmar, as its Writer-In-Residence (WIR) as she embarked on her second year in the role. ODC Theaters WIR is charged with providing insight into specific works and a framework for contemporary dance and its connection to broader social/cultural milieu, introducing a critical dance vocabulary to the public, and furthering the equity goals at the heart of the organizations mission. Seeing both the need and opportunity to build the impact of the WIRs work in 2020, ODC Theater supported the transformation of the delivery vehicle from a fixed format blog to a dynamic and more interactive podcast. This format will continue into 2021 and beyond.Normally, ODC Theater is the site of more than 160 performances annually involving nearly 1000 local, regional, national, and international artists. Outside of pandemic years, three of four ODC Theater rental patrons receive up to 50% subsidy on performance space and studio rental (awarded on meeting criteria as community-based artists/non-profit organizations). With performance and nearly all in-person dance activities prohibited, ODC Theater developed an innovative live-streamed broadcast program titled, This Is Also The Art. The series invites the public to, Meet the Artist. The Work. The Process. by joining a lively, interactive, and streamed conversation between artists and collaborators as they give a glimpse into the process of their works in the liminal times and spaces between performances. Participants and audience in the series access creative content in various stages of development and have opportunities to ask questions about how a performance piece lives on offstage.With This is Also The Art '' ODC Theater helped not only to continue to showcase and engage dance artists, but also to deepen audience engagement and understanding in the artistic process and in the creative life cycle of dance works. Both outcomes will be fundamentally important to the resilience and re-emergence of live performance work and attendance in the Bay Area arts eco-system when it attempts to navigate the post-pandemic world.ODC Theater looks forward to delivering digital and live works in 2021 at the hoped for conclusion of the pandemic, and it looks forward to articulating and implementing its new approach to curation from 2021 2023.Finally, in 2020, ODC Theater also recognized its opportunity to audit and re-organize organization-wide mentorship and training programs into more clearly articulated offerings, with more transparent and proactively communicated eligibility criteria, and (due in part to a more efficient, coordinated use of resources) a greater aggregate impact on participants and ecosystem. 421383 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 30 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 26 20 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X The organization 4158636606 351 Shotwell Street San Francisco CA 941101332 X X BECKY SAEGER Board chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Margaret Jones Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bart Deamer Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Cecilia Fok Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lynn Feintech Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jackie Schneider Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRENDA WAY ARTISTIC DIR. 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ALYCE DISSETTE Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anna Boyer Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sean Dowdall Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Henry Erlich Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Justin Erlich Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Hansen Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn Goor Hutchinson Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CARMA M ZISMAN EXECUTIVE DIR. 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CATHERINE Nelson CO-ARTISTIC DIR 30.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KIMI OKADA SCHOOL DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Suzie Ivelich Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Schroeder BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Slater BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Timothy Streb BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Heather Tay Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Tcheng Ware BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Samantha Test Cauthen BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela Wright BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sally X Yu BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 90000 345876 435876 Space rental 711120 41778 41778 Theater revenue 711120 96426 96426 138204 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Merchandise & concessions 711120 847 847 MIscellaneous 900099 247 247 1094 575174 139298 0 0 0 0 0 0 398679 253153 85436 60090 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25314 17987 7327 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Production Costs 79635 79635 Facility use fee/depreciation 60000 55200 4800 Marketing Costs 13517 13517 OPERATING COSTS 11473 1891 8778 804 0 588618 421383 106341 60894 177422 202198 0 106343 74754 1036 2273 0 0 0 0 6269 22750 0 0 0 0 0 0 291070 301975 49963 77006 36807 29113 7000 11000 93770 117119 X -86867 -84978 284167 269834 197300 184856 291070 301975 -13444 1000 X false true X true false X 675204 463431 834757 501288 435876 2910556 0 0 675204 463431 834757 501288 435876 2910556 0 2910556 0 0 3219 18870 1354 2848 1094 27385 2937941 0.99070 0.95630 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Deposits held for others 11000 11000 576174 1000 1000 575174 575174 588618 588618 588618 Client Note 1 Client Note 1 - Form 199Page 1Roster of organizations for Federal Group Exemption Number - 3800ODCFEIN 34-1191163351 SHOTWELL STREETSAN FRANCISCO, CA 94110ODC TheaterFEIN 94-33727113153 17th StreetSan francisco, CA 94110 Client Note 2 Client Note 2 - Form 990Page 10, Line 24(b)Book Depreciation allocated to ODC Theater from Parent Organization; ODCAlthough ODC Theater has no Depreciable Asset, book depreciation of $ 60,000 has been allocated as facility use charge from it's parent's (ODC with EIN 34-1191163) account.
