Founded in 1979, Pennsylvania Dance Theatre (PDT) continues to thrive from its home base of State College, Pa. In recent years, the company has earned a reputation for staging intense dance theater works that are challenging and thought-provoking.

Under the direction of German-born choreographer Andre Koslowski, the company has performed on national and international stages, and has brought to central Pennsylvania the type of powerful, progressive dance experience enjoyed by audiences in cultural centers like New York and Berlin.

The company's artistic vision, informed by Koslowski's deep understanding of dance traditions and his formative experiences in the European dance theater community, surveys the world with an unflinching eye and seeks to reflect the full range of human experience.

With a dedication to exploring the borders between contemporary dance and other artistic disciplines, PDT actively seeks out and collaborates with internationally renowned choreographers, set designers, composers and performers. The company believes that working across boundaries creates limitless opportunities to extend the artistic possibilities of dance, and to push the discipline into exciting frontiers
