History
In 1999, Hilary Thomas, Artistic Director, presented the Lineage’s first benefit performance for Young and Healthy.[1] Since then, Lineage has presented over 500 concerts and helped raised more than $150,000 for organizations such as the Global AIDS Interfaith Alliance, the Hope and Light Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, the Constance G. Zahorik Breast Center at Huntington Hospital, Five Acres and many other health, educational, arts and social service agencies. In 2006, the board of directors formed and in 2007 Lineage was established as an independent 501(c)3 organization. Lineage has been invited to perform at Dance Across the City Boston (which became the model for the Pasadena Dance Festival) and New York’s Joyce SoHo and has completed tours in California, Nevada and Montana. In 2006, Lineage produced Dancing through the Ages at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium with their first grant from City of Pasadena Arts & Culture I. In 2008, the Tournament of Roses Foundation funded “A Day of Dance” in partnership with Kidspace Museum and the Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission, City of Pasadena Cultural Affairs Division provided funding for the First Annual Pasadena Dance Festival. Lineage partnered with Pasadena Symphony for TEMPO!, a program in 13 Pasadena Unified School District elementary schools and provided professional development for PUSD classroom teachers. After receiving training with Mark Morris Dance Group, Lineage launched its first community outreach class Dancing with Parkinson’s. On May 1, 2010, Lineage opened the doors to the Lineage Performing Arts Center (LPAC), providing the community with a comprehensive arts resource and community hub for the arts. In October 2014, the position of Executive Director was created to oversee staff and business operations.
