Our Vision: Move More | Understand More 

Movement is a fundamental language through which humans understand and know the world and themselves

Our Values:

Work Hard. Creating challenging, physical movement theater requires hard work

Embrace Risk. Too much caution and control rarely leads to powerful art

Challenge Always. Make art that pushes personal and societal boundaries

Make Art. Make your own art, its good for you and your local community

Engage Everyone. Engage everyone and community you can, it is through connections you evolve and learn.
