a collaborative dance + spoken word + music show created at the intersection of performing arts, (dis)ability & creative potential.

Is there a story within you that feels invisible? What would it feel like for that part of you to be seen? What would happen if by making it visible you could open someones eyes or make someone feel less alone?

Art as Action is a physically integrated performing company for Artivists of all abilities.

Contributing Artivists: Carol Cowley, Margie Dahlin, Amy Dressel-Martin, Wayne A. Gilbert, Jen Hightower, Jan Leversee, Sarah Leversee, Robin Moore, Leann Roberts, Tina Schoenherr & Karen Talcott; with Dave Crotser, BJ Suter & Patrick Mueller  Photos: Annabelle Denmark

“(Art as Action) took us on a journey through truths and stories of the vulnerable and resilient dance of being human. I felt part of the journey woven into the circle of performers verses just simply watching a performance. I was moved to tears, struck by the strength, the joy, the questions and the hope that was shared, moved and danced. 

“(Art as Action) clearly holds an intentional, safe, potent space for people of many walks and ways of life to cultivate such a moving performance. We left the show feeling inspired by how ritual theater art can serve to transform, uplift and rise up hope in all of us!”
