We are a socially conscious modern dance group of seven teen dancers and choreographers. Dance is our art form, and our mission is to express who we are, and where we are in our lives, through dance. Our works are entirely collaborative. Together, we create something very powerful. Our movement expresses our thoughts about communication (or the loss and absence of it); about love, and how love man
ifests itself in friends, relationships, and the world around us; about loss—individually, and as a society; peer pressure; death; loneliness; and self definition. Our discussions — every Sunday for the past decade —transform into our art. As we dance, we continually react to, and interact with the world around us—all while supporting one other, existing in the moment, sharing a common identity and purpose, and diving into the core of the struggles and pressures we face and the joys we share. Our shared experience and expression has been a catalyst for our growth as individuals. We hope our programs provoke thought in our audiences, especially teenagers, as we explore our daily reality in a post 9/11 world. We have grown from performing in one-room spaces—altering our movements so we don’t run into the audience!—to performing at the Citigroup Theater Joan Weill Center for Dance. As an independent, nonprofit company, we work diligently to produce our work and no creative endeavor has ever been compromised.
