The Theorists

The Theorists We are courageously caring polymaths who revitalize communities with revolutionary art. The Theorists invite audience members to ask "What if" with us.

We collaborate with a range of ages, abilities, and backgrounds including a physicist, psychologist, dance ability activist, geologist, database architect, analogue guru, and more on our movement research. We have never claimed to nor ever intend to understand everything. Rather, we desire to create a space to play out impossible tasks and practice the what our mentor Deborah Hay calls "the deep deep ethics of optimism."
