IT IS OUR MISSION TO QUESTION THEPHYSICALITY OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONAND PUSH THE ENVELOPE OF MOVEMENT

INVENTION. BY CREATING COMPLEX ANDTHEATRICAL ENVIRONMENTS STEEPED INATHLETICISM, HUMOR AND SUBTLETY,

THE WORK REVELS IN ANTITHETICALAESTHETICS AND UNCOMFORTABLEREALITIES, OFTEN EXPLORING THE MANY

FACETS OF THE MASCULINE IDENTITY. ASQUEER ARTISTS, WE FEEL THE TOPIC ISEVER-PRESENT IN OUR WORK, BUT IT IS

NOT THE SOLE AGENDA. REGARDLESS OFGENDER AND SEXUALITY, A THROUGHLINE OF HUMANITY IS INTEGRAL TO THEWORK.
