Watch a series of short videos about our goals HERE.
We strive to end the violence of racism, casteism, white supremacy, toxic masculinity, Empire, colonization, slavery, genocide, and other aggressions.
We are located on and pay tribute to Mni Sota Makoce,
the unceded homelands of the Dakote Oyate and the Objibwe peoples.
We stand in solidarity with Native and Black communities,
whose land and labor are crucial in sustaining this land on which we dance.
Since June 2018, our convening, teaching, and rehearsal home has been the Shawngram Institute for Performance & Social Justice located on University Avenue (Lexington/Snelling) in St. Paul.
