Cathy Weis Projects is an artist-run nonprofit organization dedicated to producing two primary projects: Sundays on Broadway and WeisWorks.

Sundays on Broadway is an on-going performance series that brings together a distinctive group of artists to share ideas, present works both old and new, and to interact with the audience in a professional performance space where everyone is up close and personal. Sundays on Broadway "...has provided the field with a very valuable continuity of community, as well as non-market driven ways to keep gathering and dancing and sharing histories and ideas." (Culturebot)

WeisWorks is the body of work by Cathy Weis. Her performance work explores the partnership between live performance and video in order to “pose unnerving questions — about how and what we see, and about the nature of physical control, a subject central to dancers and people coping with the body’s failure (which means, at one point or another, all of us.)” (The Village Voice)

Cathy Weis Projects was founded in 1974 under the name Roxanne Dance Foundation by choreographers Risa Jaroslow and Wendy Perron. Weis has directed the organization since 1997.
