Rooted in physical investigations of trauma, resilience, and hybrids, our collaborative artworks challenge capitalism both subtlety and overtly. Our dedication to art is a practice of spiritual, fundamental, and collective proportions. Curiosity guides our trajectory, and our work is a disruptive tool to keep digging and opening our sense of belonging together. We disarm and empower our audiences through sound and movement primarily. The scale ranges from 1-1 intimate settings to group public interactions, and the full spectrum in between. Forever a work in progress.​

​

We convene national and international teaching artists with Chicago art makers across genres in the independent and fringe arenas (including dance, butoh, poetry, film, curations, productions, experimental music). We collaborate with artists around the globe to create opportunities for workshops, performances, and conversations about the body, for the body through Butoh Curious. Chi
