Our Values
Imagination – Our company creates spaces to dream, imagine, and envision new futures. In our interactive, family-friendly performances, creativity, play, and curiosity take centre stage.
Love – Infusing love and joy into every step, story, and interaction, we move from the heart. We care deeply for each other, ourselves, and Mother Earth.
Quiet Activism – We inspire change through dance, performance, and creativity, using them as powerful mediums for personal and collective healing and liberation.
Intuition – Trusting and following our inner voice and instinct, we invite intuition to guide both our creative work and our personal journeys. Performers often shape-shift into characters to find their true essence.
Transformation –We cultivate transformation by honouring our values, the well-being of our artists, and our personal and global stories. We grow through community and connection. Dance, for us, is a healing ritual.
Contribution – Everyone’s contribution is respected and valued, empowering free, authentic, and unapologetic expression. We create supportive, held spaces where everyone – artists and audiences – are free to be themselves.
Honouring – Deeply honouring the ancient wisdom, spiritual traditions, and cultural heritage that shape our dances and identities, we carry them forward with love and care. Our work respects both the recognised and unrecognised African roots and lineages of all folkloric dance styles. We honour the painful colonial histories that led to the creation of these diasporic dances. We are committed to learning, growing, and striving for the truth in everything we do.
