The Dance Generators

In a society obsessed with youth and perfection of the body, the Dance Generators defy conventional views of beauty. Dancers in the company range in age from 18 to 82 and have various backgrounds and training. The Company believes that the combinations of physical and creative energies found in dance succeeds in motivating and inspiring activity and interaction between people of all ages who are at times, isolated from one another.

Community performances combine improvisation, choreographed work, and audience participation. The Dance Generators introduce audiences to the tools and skills used in creating dances. The performance shows that people at any age can be physically and artistically vital. Through individual and group expression, movement, ideas and stories are shared that transcend age differences.

The Dance Generators offer classes, residencies and perform in schools, senior centers, hospitals, and community centers.
