We engage communities throughout Boston and New England through performances, presentations, and workshops. Each summer, as part of ZACHOR, we offer a free teen intensive program, empowering young dancers to explore their choreographic voices through storytelling and social engagement.
Our work has been presented at venues throughout Boston and New England including the New England Conservatory, Boston Center for the Arts, The Huntington Theater, Ted X Walden Pond, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to name a few. Our dance films have been featured in national and international festivals. Our work is supported by the New England Foundation for the Arts, Massachusetts Cultural Council, The City of Boston, The Russell J. Efros Foundation, The Beker Foundation, Combined Jewish Philanthropies, The Boston Foundation, and more.
Through performance, education, and community engagement, we create spaces where dance deepens understanding, honors lineage, and empowers individuals to engage critically with history and identity.
