Appreciations towards Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture for providing the following description:

在Oprah Winfrey的资助下，舞蹈家Dwana Smallwood委托Jordan Parnass Digital建筑师事务所设计建造了新Dwana Smallwood表演艺术中心，为布鲁克林Bedford-Stuyvesant提供了舞蹈教育等社区资源，实现了她回馈街区的愿望。

项目位于一栋曾经是工业建筑的大楼内，设计师对空间进行了一系列富有戏剧效果的建筑介入，改造了其外观，创造了明亮而又通透的舞蹈教室，办公室、图书室和更衣室等区域，每天都会接待大量家庭的到来。

Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture (JPDA) has completed the new Dwana Smallwood Performing Arts Center (DSPAC) – a community resource that celebrates dance education in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. Generous support from Oprah Winfrey allowed dancer Dwana Smallwood to realize her vision to give back to the community she grew up in.

Located in a former industrial building, JPDA developed a series of dramatic architectural interventions that transform the exterior and create bright, airy and playful dance studios, offices, a library, and dressing rooms for the bustling families that arrive each day.

“我的目标是将自己在舞蹈方面的专业经验带回生养我的故乡，不仅仅是教人跳舞，还包括将舞蹈中的自信、爱、创造和自尊等品质传达给大家。”Dwana说道

“My intention was to use my professional dancing experiences to come back to where I grew up and not only teach dance, but the confidence, love, creativity, and self-esteem that comes with learning dance,” recounts Dwana.

Dwana Smallwood表演艺术中心中设有灵活可变的舞蹈教室、演出空间和管理设施，是社区中极为重要的文化资源。在设计的初期阶段，设计师利用摄影和舞蹈符号开发了一系列图像，试图从中抽象出一套流动的建筑空间。

DSPAC combines flexible dance studios, performance spaces and administrative functions and serves as a significant cultural resource for the community. Early in the design process JPDA developed a series of figure studies using photography and dance notation to inspire a direct abstraction of movement and the flow of architectural space.

建筑的入口处设有显眼的红色悬挑雨棚，玻璃门边围有同样颜色的3d混凝土板，上方的波纹抽象地展现了能量和动作的波动，让人感受到该公共设施中跃动的灵魂。

The entrance is announced by a suspended canopy, via glass doors flanked by 3-d sculpted concrete panels and a marquee that establish the abstract vocabulary of undulating energy and movement. Cast ripple and spiral panels hint at the energy and dynamic spirit of the public programs.

楼梯井和二楼的接待区中装有电脑数值控制制成的漆面板，其中藏有储物柜、引导标识和照明器具。圆形的波纹图案组成了一个色彩丰富温馨的图书室，设有舒适的座椅和社交空间，人们可以安静地阅读书籍，做伸展训练，或是和朋友加深交流。

The stairwell and second floor reception are clad in dimensional CNC-milled lacquered panels that conceal storage, signage and lighting. The circular ripple motif carries through to a colorful and warm library that provides comfortable seating and a social gathering space. The area creates an oasis of calm for reading and stretching, as well as social space for connecting with friends and neighbors.

舞蹈教室设有弹簧地板和明亮的天窗，为舞者创造了绝佳的环境。两间教室之间采用可变隔墙，在演出时可以将隔断完全打开，形成一个带遮光帘的巨大舞台。

Open, bright studios with sprung floors and glowing skylights are the focus for dancers. The two studios are flexibly divided and can open up to one large dance stage with blackout curtains at performance time.

Dwana Smallwood曾是艾利美国舞蹈剧院的首席舞者，之后在南非Oprah Winfrey领袖学院任职。在她决定回到家乡教授舞蹈后得到了Oprah的直接资助，从而建立了这座社区学校及资源中心。组织旨在运用艺术和基础舞蹈在纽约社区中寻找有能力的年轻人，将他们培养塑造成舞蹈精英和艺术家，进而到世界的舞台上成长、发展和竞争。该中心鼓励贫困人群参与到创造性的活动中去，成为了社区发展的跳板。

Formerly Principal Dancer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Dwana Smallwood later served as Director at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa. After deciding to return to her home neighborhood to teach dance, the project benefited from Oprah’s direct support to spur the growth of the organization in developing a school and resource center for the community. The organization aims to use the arts, primarily dance, as a means to empower youth within New York’s inner city communities. They endeavor to mold elite dancers and artists who will be able to develop, grow and compete on the world’s stage. The center is a springboard for creating community identity and encouraging creative activity within an underserved population.
