Mission
Our goal is to foster the journey of visceral and spiritual catharsis for our
audience—sharing a unique sense of individual presence and a united sense of
community in the performative moment. Our dance intends to heal and spark the
emergence of our full potential as witnesses to the aesthetic and personal power of transformation.
Vision
Emergence Dance Company envisions how movement can be a positive force
throughout the peaks and valleys of the life cycle. We take a humanistic approach to movement and the artistic process through our commitment to technique, experiential awareness, and ritual practice. Wake Up; Awaken, is a short dance film inspired by the idea of stripping the ego and allowing one to connect to their higher self through nature and each other at a distance.
