KAIROS Dance Theater aims to redefine the role of art in culture by speaking to social issues and working towards rewriting culturally defined narratives. Our work is built around the experience of creating movement, sharing stories, building connections, and using the body as an instrument of power and expression. For the past 15 years, we have enabled dancers and non-dancers to discover their voices and the importance of their own personal stories through carefully crafted & customized training programs and performances throughout New England, New York, Korea, France and Russia. KAIROS performances use story-telling as a catalyst; a catalyst for people to truly LISTEN to each other – to really HEAR each other’s stories – to dismantle the imagined barriers between us, to discover our sameness. The movement and choreography is athletic and daring, the performers bold and committed. By stripping away layers to expose their truest selves, the dancers do not just dance, they bring to life stories, myths and memories that speak to the deep, human truths we all experience, inviting us all to embrace our deepest humanity. Through visual and physical story-telling KAIROS invites both performers and audience to deepen our understanding, our compassion, and our empathy for one another; because no matter how different each of us may be, we are all here sharing the same experiences, we all have common ground, and we all belong to each other.
