Gesel Mason Performance Projects (GMPP), a project-based dance company, began in 1999 as a way to inspire dialogue and to create meaningful and compelling art that spoke to diverse populations. Artistic Director Gesel Mason uses dance and theater to confront issues of race, gender, culture, and class and to create works that “move her audience to tears and laughter” (Washington Post). Ms. Mason has performed nationally and internationally with Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, Repertory Dance Theatre of Utah, Jacek Luminski of Silesian Dance Theatre, Liz Lerman Dance Exchange, and Ralph Lemon. She was selected Emerging Choreographer by the Bates Dance Festival in 2000, received 2 Metro DC Dance Awards for NO BOUNDARIES and a 2007 Millennium Stage Local Dance Commissioning Project from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
