Dance
STILGO’s movement is based in western concert contemporary dance forms, pulls from commercial dance practices, and values somatic and embodied wellness through dance. Our work has been described as vibrant, open, rigorous, grounded, energizing, connected, and honest. We move to be connected to each other and with ourselves. Most works are grounded in deep research or subject matter and created in deep collaboration with the movement artists.

Technology
Only with need. Digital technologies are used to deepen and inform the creative process and used intentionally to draw ourselves and our audiences closer to the work and each other. From dance films and projection design to Isadora interactive media used by the audience and the performers alike. Emerging and creative technologies enhance the embodied research and performative output.
