MISSION:
The mission of Tami Stronach Dance is to celebrate and share the exuberance of dance and the transformative power of movement. I look to the body, to body language, and movement vocabularies to reveal pressing truths about the human condition. I feel most alive when I can create dance theater works where physical intelligence, logic, emotion and intuition all work together to build a coherent theatrical world. Humor, visual impact, and emotional honesty are important to me in the studio. My hope is that audiences will connect to the work and thereby make new connections within themselves as well as feel more connected to the people around them. I often include some form of audience participation, whether during or after the performance…so get ready to join us!
