Artistic Statement

Artistic Statement

Formed in 2008, past provocations have included: “why do Americans need so much stuff?” (EXCESS – a dance play inspired by The Cherry Orchard) and “who gets access to food?” (GIVE US BREAD, hailed by nytheatre.com as “a thoroughly entertaining and thought provoking play mixing elements of dance and stylized movement to create a piece that is wholly within its own hybrid Anthropologists genre.”) Celebrating our 10th year, our work has been described as “eerie and weird in the best way” (Culturebot) and “incisive, even necessary work for the present moment.” (Culture Catch).

Values:
- provocative questions about society, science, history and humanity
- storytelling through movement & dance, research & rigorous dramaturgy
- collaborative theatremaking techniques
- longterm creative relationships
- ongoing training of artists
- cross-sector partnerships & civic engagement
