About the MRDC

The MRDC exists as an avenue for both initiating and deepening the dancers’ knowledge of the total performance experience within their Mills College dance education. Both undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to audition for the MRDC—which is modeled on professional dance companies—and embark on an experience that allows them to become a vibrant element of the Mills’ dance tradition. MRDC performances present a unique opportunity for the public to see the groundbreaking artists of tomorrow perform the work of highly reputed choreographers and teachers of today.
