about
Founded in 2022 by Brian Josiah Martinez, Boykin is a contemporary dance platform that supports both emerging and established choreographers. Each Boykin performance is intentionally curated with clarity and balance, treating curation as an artistic practice in its own right. Through thoughtful assembly of works, Boykin aims to amplify meaning, foster connection, and create experiences that resonate beyond the stage.
our mission
Boykin Dance Project is a platform for choreographic inquiry and self-expression. As an incubator for artistic thought, we support choreographers in developing work that resonates in live performance, through our educational initiatives, and in meaningful community engagement.
origin
Growing up on Boykin Boulevard in a city where access to curated contemporary dance was scarce, Brian heard the call of his hometown's hunger for artistic accessibility. Motivated by this local yearning, he set out to create a transformative space for world-class art share through past, current, and future strategic access initiatives.
