BODYART is a multimedia dance company that creates work for non-traditional spaces. Always site-inspired and interdisciplinary, BODYART projects aim to create new visual dialogues that invite conversation and community discourse. BODYART is a women-led organization that is dedicated to serving the global community and increasing accessibility in the arts.

BODYART believes interdisciplinary collaboration provides us the opportunity to interrogate Eurocentric dance practices that have historically excluded those with differing aesthetic and/or cultural values. Multi-platform collaboration across geography, community, and medium creates space for us to deconstruct hierarchical artmaking practices that have led to divisive narratives and limited accessibility in the arts. BODYART believes storytelling is powerful if not pervasive, and the narratives we create together can inform new perspectives that ultimately change our relationship to each other and ourselves.

BODYART creates work that is site-inspired and specific, believing that space and architecture should act as co-author. BODYART believes in presenting work in non-traditional spaces as a means to increase access and equity in the arts. Traditional venues among the European disciplinary arts have historically excluded those based on gender, sexuality, race, and socioeconomic status. In an effort to continue our practice of interdisciplinary and inclusive artmaking, BODYART is committed to creating work in non-traditional spaces that encourage inclusion and accessibility.
