Often we are hungry, and not just because of the pushups.
We have appetites, for the what ifs and maybes and what-could-be. We divvy the work into small portions and we take big bites. We sink our teeth with pleasure, and often we hold on even when it hurts.
In a five-tooth company, we ask a lot of questions about what a small crew can do. Smallness, like grandiosity, bears certain magics and particular perspectives. We consider simplicity, infinity, scale, empire, desire. We know, maybe like you do, what it means to be underestimated, unanticipated.
As performers we research how our statures allow us to hold each other up, how we fit into each others’ capacities, to roll as we fall.
An acrobat needs teeth for the dangers we approach in our movement, both physical and conceptual.
Making work in a world shot through with oppression and obstacle offers the opportunity to learn resilience through practices of agility, strength, and collaboration.
We understand harm reduction as a model for performance. We choose acrobatics, dance, and partnering not in spite of the dangers they present but because of them: they are practices we cultivate to keep ourselves safe in an unsafe world.
We invite intersectional, queer, resilient, and multi-disciplinary collaboration and comrades of all persuasions. Drop a line to let us know how we might co-conspire.
