Commonwealth Center for the Humanities and Society
Commonwealth Center for the Humanities and Society (CCHS) is charged with enhancing humanistic scholarship, research, creative activity, teaching, and public awareness at the University of Louisville, in the Louisville metropolitan area and, in collaboration with other universities, colleges, and humanities organizations throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. CCHS has partnered with many cultural and arts organizations as we work together to seek to innovate approaches for engaging contemporary opportunities and concerns. Ambo Dance Theatre is very excited to be an official community partner with CCHS!
Louisville is a community that is very rich in the arts, and we are proud to be a part of its community. Part of CCHS’s mission is to foster mutually beneficial relationships that both support these arts and cultural resources and that enhance learning and research opportunities for the University of Louisville faculty and students with these resources. We want to share our dance experiences and opportunities with the University of Louisville community to help educate, enrich, and inspire those who want to be involved. CCHS facilitates access and collaboration between community partners and people at UofL and Ambo Dance is honored to be one of these many partners.
