We are the select ones, those that must dance
We span the ages 8-18
We set on voyage each year, our story is the vessel
We discover new territories in literature, poetry, history, music, textiles and dance
We listen, we conjure, we refine, we become
We are the artists, technicians, musicians, performers and above all, the players
Our dance theater productions are mix of quick witted dance choreography, high fashion and
grand story telling.
The dancers are all contributors and collaborators, moving well past rote skills and embodying the process of an artist. Casting is pedagogical, meaning the children are given roles so they can both grow as artists and human beings. Every year we create an original dance theater production based in classic children’s literature. We read the book aloud in its entirety as part of our rehearsal process. Dancer considered for this group must be open to process and have the family support to pursue the time and commitment to the group. Along with attending technical classes weekly, dancers are required to attend all rehearsals.
