We believe that art has the power to create change
“Memorable, intelligent, strong.” —Eva Yaa Asantewaa, Infinite Body
“Violent but engaging” —Clare Croft, The Washington Post
“Clear expression of idea in movement” – Maura Donahue, Culturbot
We believe that art has the power to create change. Our repertory includes collaborative evening length dance-theater as well as evenings of modern dance.
"The New York-based troupe follows in the absurdist footsteps of Beckett and Weill by employing a menacing vaudevillian style…urgent in a rambunctious-sad way. Performers are lovely and engaging even as frightening truths brew underneath."

Faulkner creates intricate dances infused with deadpan wit. She combines circus-inspired spectacle with exquisitely fluid movement and plays in the gap between delicacy and recklessness, elegance and animalism. “Wind-Up Circus” was called “A mad tea-party, witty, and hall of mirrors surreal.
