SO NOW YOU KNOW

 

So Now You Know

Directed and Choreographed by: Janet Roston

Storytelling Coach/Dramaturge: Ryan Bergmann

 

So Now You Know combines the strengths of actors and dancers to tell personal stories in words and movement of individual discovery.  This hybrid dance/theatre concept integrates stories and performers in a new engaging dance/theatre experience.  Each performance is developed specifically with a multi-faceted community of performers.  Along with working towards a final performance, our unique development process has the ultimate goal of creating a connected community within each cast that resonates with the audience. Our goal is to unite performers and audience in a moving live theater experience.

 

Each performance can be developed specifically for you and your multi-faceted community of performers. Our unique development process has the ultimate goal of creating connections within each cast culminating in a performance that will touch and unite your audience as a community.
