ARTIVISM DANCE THEATRE is a collective of artists dedicated to bringing awareness to social issues through art.

We tell our own stories in an effort to reach across divisions, find commonality, and spark change. We prioritize communication of social  message over esoteric performance, often using multimedia techniques in our work. We believe that art, and specifically movement, can  communicate perspective and experience across gaps in culture, language,  and tradition that might otherwise remain unbreachable.

The collaborative is comprised of dance professionals with years of  experience in both performance and instruction. Trained in a great variety of techniques, Artivism's repertoire displays the expertise of  company members ranging from movements of the African diaspora to  Ballet. We believe in the power of movement to transform our health, our lives, and our communities.
