Seen: STL is a semi-annual event hosted by RDC that showcases works-in-progress by local, independent dance artists. The goal of Seen is to create space for artistic vulnerability - there are no rules, no budgets, no time requirements, and no genre restrictions. Artists are simply encouraged to share and be seen. Seen furthermore promotes solidarity within the local dance community, and provides a platform for independent artists who might not have a regular outlet for their work.
