Program Culminates in Live Performance of "Forces of Nature" September 24

SANTA FE, N.M. (September 8, 2026) NDI New Mexico today announced its Residency Dance Program for fourth-grade students from Harrison Schmitt Elementary, Central Elementary, and GW Stout Elementary School, as well as SWAT/Celebration Teams from Harrison Schmitt, Central, GW Stout, Guadalupe Montessori, Aldo Leopold Charter, La Plata Middle School, Pecos Cyber Academy, and Snell Middle School. The program runs September 8–24 and will culminate in a live performance of "Forces of Nature" on Thursday, September 24.

In addition to providing a creative and celebratory community event, the Residency Program will offer 

Two new exhibitions at Light Art Space. In the North Gallery, The Power of Two: Collaboration features collaborative work by 22 Silver City artists. 11 local artists were invited to participate and chose another local artist as a partner. The concept and theme were intentionally open, with several possible approaches to collaboration: two artists could work together on one piece, each contributing to the whole; one artist could begin a piece and the other complete it; two artists could interpret the same scene, subject, or concept; artists could exchange artwork and create new work inspired by their partner's piece; or one artist could begin with a finished work by the other and transform it into something entirely new. The resulting artwork is exciting and fresh. Participating artists are Susan Mach, Nichole Graf, Kathleen Koopman, Delia deVer,
