Mission
Tanztheater Michigan creates inclusive, community-centered performance experiences at the intersection of dance, experimental choreography, electroacoustic noise music, and visual art. Rooted in post-modern and expressionistic traditions, the organization brings together people of all ages, abilities, and training levels to cultivate empathy, foster connection, and reflect the lived experiences of everyday life.
Vision
Tanztheater Michigan envisions a vibrant cultural landscape where experimental dance, electroacoustic noise music, and visual art intersect to build deep community connection. Through intergenerational collaboration, we create accessible opportunities for professional artists, emerging creators, community members, and individuals with disabilities to make art together. We champion experimentation, shared authorship, improvisation, and storytelling, serving as a dynamic space where diverse lived experiences spark transformative, interdisciplinary creation.
Programs
Tanztheater Michigan produces community-centered dance programming that combines contemporary performance, interdisciplinary collaboration, and participatory arts engagement. The organization’s primary activities include intergenerational performance projects, community workshops, experimental choreography labs, and public performances that integrate dance, poetry, storytelling, and music.
