Mission

still still creates circus and dance performances for theaters and festivals, with a focus on deeply merging dance and circus culture, values and approaches within the performers. 

Through our performances and surrounding activities we contribute to the public idea of what “circus” and “dance” is or can be, rooted in the artistic vision of Marta & Kim. 

We facilitate exchange of knowledge between circus and dance, in the broadest sense. We are committed to open source movement research between practitioners, specifically evolving around partner acrobatics, contemporary dance and contact improvisation.

Vision

The artistic vision of founders Marta and Kim forms the base of all our activities:

We believe in the communicating body, and approach storytelling through movement. We generate our movement vocabulary from a circus and dance training, allowing us to create human configurations that speak to the imagination. These physical metaphors tell rich stories; inviting the audience to relate through emotions and ideas of their own.

We see ourselves, our team, and our audience as sensitive and capable of understanding. By allowing stories to exist in between us, we give them space to move and breathe, and leave people with access to their own participation and creativity. Together we craft each experience in the moment.
