UC Berkeley has been at the forefront of performance training and research for more than 80 years. Your support of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies (TDPS) enables us to continue this tradition by offering first-rate classes in acting, dance, theatrical design, and performance studies; inviting renowned artists and scholars for lectures and master classes; presenting high-quality, affordable performances to the public; and advancing the research of our students and faculty. We invite you to join our community of supporters by participating in the giving opportunities below.
Giving Opportunities
The Annual Fund
The Annual Fund supports a broad range of operations and programs, including artist residencies, workshops and lectures, and upgrades to our performance spaces. The Annual Fund also helps us maintain the smaller class sizes necessary to foster students' artistic and expressive skills.
The David Wood Endowment
Funds generated from the David Wood Endowment underwrite dance program expenses above and beyond the annual budget. The endowment honors former faculty member David Wood and the dedication with which he and Marni Thomas Wood worked to establish the dance program at UC Berkeley.
To support this fund, please follow the mailing instructions below and note "David Wood Endowment" in the memo line of your check.
