We establish a platform that allows dancers, choreographers and collaborators to connect and share artistic sensibilities- honoring each other's uniquely personal experiences. Building site-specific performances for the natural world and the proscenium stage, we actively involve all voices throughout the creation/rehearsal process, promoting an equitable environment where artists can thrive. The amalgamation of these elements brought into a live performance experience is key to our purpose, showcasing the best of what our art form has to offer. In essence, we create the opportunity for dancers to join together and immerse themselves in exciting repertoire, reaching audiences of all sizes.
