What is the Color Wheel Project?
The Color Wheel Project transforms children’s visual artwork into professional dance.
- CREATE: Children create and submit their original artwork to T2 Dance Company.
- INSPIRE: T2’s professional dancers select artworks and use them as inspiration to choreograph an original dance show.
- PERFORM: The dances come to life on stage in a public theater performance celebrating the creativity of young artists!
From canvas to stage
CWP combines visual arts with dance culminating in a performance by the professionals of the T2 Dance Company.

Testimonials
The choreography was gorgeous. The program elevates and celebrates student artwork and beautifully demonstrates the intersection of dance, art, and music. It is a very special and impactful program!
Audience Member
My student came to school on the Monday after the show wearing his Color Wheel T-shirt and positively beaming when I shared
photos and videos of the show with the rest of the fourth grade. The Color Wheel is a truly special program that is having a huge impact on these kids’ lives.

The experience of modern dance being broken up by interviews with the student artists really added a charm that I’ve not experienced before.
