Community-based projects play an important role in the life of the company.  In Out of Season (The Athletes Project) and Familiar Movements (The Family Project), the seven members of the company rehearse over a two-week period with groups of volunteer athletes or family members selected from the communities to which the company tours and together with the volunteer performers present a finished work at the end of the residency on a program with other company repertory. In No Roles Barred, a new project, David Dorfman examines the personal roles assumed, formed, and interwoven in our modern social construct. This project has been wildly successful with groups ranging from corporate executives and “at-risk” youths, to college administrators , doctors, carpenters, and social dance enthusiasts. No Roles Barred continues to advance David Dorfman’s goal to “get the whole world d ancing.” By the end of the 2000-2001 season, the  three community projects will have been presented over 30 times in 17 states and two foreign countries.
