Rock Bottom Movement is an interdisciplinary performance company dedicated to blurring the boundaries of theatre and dance in pursuit of refreshingly approachable art. We believe in utilizing rigorous structure to elicit the anarchy of surprise. To us, the nerve-wracking act of live performance

should be treated like a booby-trap and treasured like a gift.

 

We believe in an anti-patriarchal approach to rigour, we work to subvert Modern dance physicality from a place of comedy and tenderness. We work with performers who have a unique and cultivated presence, and who are particularly adept at being many facets of “themselves.”

 

Our work strives to push the boundaries of live performance in Canada while reaching out to broad audiences, many of whom might be new to contemporary concert dance. Interesting art doesn’t have to be alienating. In fact, we think the most interesting art of all strives to be fundamentally not so.
