ChromaDiverse, a leader in archival technology and creative equity, announces the launch of CurtainConnect, a new globally accessible online platform designed to ensure that dance history lives, grows, and remains available and shareable for generations. As the new face and voice of the organization, CurtainConnect serves as a digital stage where current and former dancers and organizations can preserve their work, increase their visibility, and pass on their artistic legacies.

While ChromaDiverse continues to provide the essential archival infrastructure and data integrity required by the performing arts sector, CurtainConnect goes a step further by directly involving diverse dance communities in the shaping of their histories. The platform allows individual artists to connect with affiliated dance organizations and to transform their cherished photos, videos, and memorabilia into living archives, ensuring that dance does not disappear once the curtain falls.

“CurtainConnect is a platform where dance history takes shape and thrives, allowing artists to tell their stories in a personal way,” said Judy Tyrus, CEO of ChromaDiverse. Product Manager of CurtainConnect Jessica Cavender, who has guided the development of the platform, shared her excitement about the launch: “[CurtainConnect] is powered by our archival technology and designed to preserve creative legacy for generations, acting as the architecture that ensures those stories never disappear.”

CurtainConnect gives you simple tools to build and keep a permanent record of your dance journey, because your own story is important and shouldn’t be forgotten. You can also create a portfolio to show off your work, get more visibility, stay recognized even after your performing days, find new opportunities, and connect with others for collaborations.

The platform brings people together by linking mentors, students, and shared memories, so the dance world feels more connected. It celebrates the past while shining a light on today’s artists, making sure every dance story lasts for years to come. Powered by ChromaDiverse’s special archiving technology, CurtainConnect keeps creative work and cultural history safe forever. It’s free and easy to use, letting individual stories join with company archives to build a bigger, living history of dance around the world.
