A project-based movement company that creates intermedia, participatory, collaborative, and exciting dance works grounded in feminist values.

 

  • Dance

    STILGO’s movement is based in contemporary dance forms, pulls from commercial dance practices, and values somatic and embodied wellness through dance. Our work has been described as vibrant, open, rigorous, grounded, energizing, connected, and honest. We move to be connected to each other and with ourselves.

  • Technology

    We use technology throughout the creative process and performance. From dance films and projection design to Isadora interactive media used by the audience and the performers alike. Technology is used to deepen/inform the creative process, expand how we present, and connect us with our audiences, as well as with each other.

Value Statement.

 

STILGO dance + tech uses craft, collaboration, and community to ask radical questions. We value each artistic contributors’ creativity, time, and labor equally, as reflected in our sliding scale equitable pay structure. Power is distributed horizontally—all contributors’ ideas, questions, and concerns (no matter how potentially miniscule or uncomfortable) are welcomed and nurtured in our creative space. We enter the space willing to learn, practice, sweat, work, and grow together. We use technology to stay connected to each other and our audiences. Interdisciplinary art practices are warmly invited into our space, and hold an equal weight in our creative processes. We value transparency internally and externally, pulling back the curtain to our viewers as a way to deepen our mutual awareness of the process and product of the work. We aim to create inclusive, accessible spaces so that all may experience our work with ease. We ground ourselves, and shake up the rest.
