ADaPT FESTIVAL SERIES: 2011-2013
In 2011 we launched our first international festival, the SB-ADaPT Festival. As we morphed into ArtBark International this continued on in 2012 in collaboration with RAW MATTERS in Vienna, Austria, and in 2013 and as a tri-city festival in Brooklyn, NY; Santa Barbara, CA; and Pasadena, CA. Our organization, in interest of promoting growth in the community, stepped aside from festival production when another dance company stepped forwards expressing a desire to produce festivals in Santa Barbara (at this time we did not feel there was space enough in our small town for two dance festivals)
