Project Description

Founded in 2000 by choreographer-director Jess Curtis, Gravity creates exceptionally engaging body-based art that physically explores and addresses issues and ideas of substance and relevance to anyone with a body.

Through innovative, accessible, experimental performance, Gravity activates the bodies and minds of our viewers, exposing them to new ideas and experiences of the body. The organization supports the work of Artistic Director Jess Curtis and many collaborators with a critical focus on the oppression of normative physical stereotypes, consistently supporting the work of queer artists and self-identified disabled artists, strengthening the practices of emerging young dance makers and the broader artistic community.
