Floorwork Arts Collective aims to produce collaborative new work "from the ground up" that speaks to contemporary social issues. By imbedding the values of our art into our creative practice, we empower emerging interdisciplinary artists to praxis their ideas while creating with, educating, and entertaining audiences in experimental productions. Our goal is to create nontraditional, anti-capitalist theatre in community that deconstructs hierarchies and promotes ecological sustainability.
