Nu

• for “now” to be in the present moment (Celtic translation)
  
• for “naked” to find and give the pure essence of yourself (French translation)
  

Distorting perceptions of life, Nu Dance Theater explores theatrical and visual ideas using the body as a tool to unveil human emotion. We transcend the boundaries of dance and collaborate within diverse artistic mediums confronting our bodies with unfamiliar physical, emotional and challenging environmental situations. Much like a dream, reality and imagination blend generating powerful moving images to create a poetic unity between the experience of life and its performance.

Nu Dance Theater celebrates the ephemeral nature of performing arts, the fragility of an instant, and the diversity of perspective. We are dedicated to offer our audience the freedom to follow their own instinct and their creativity. The viewer is immersed into the realm of the performance, as we employ a range of theatrical setting that integrates site-specific work. We create choreographies that suit single spaces and honor the meaning of site-specific. More than a dance we offer an environment where people find new ways of perceiving life, new paths to everyday freedom.

We wish we could capture a movement but like a feeling or a sensation it disappears and then goes its own way.  A space can embrace actions, contain emotions, and remember them, while nurturing their multiplicity and honoring their singularity.  Ultimately a space holds the power to reveal the invisible.  Through the dance, we are able to awaken those memories and transcend the practical nature of a place.
