About

Enforced Arch is a dance and performance community of intelligent communicators who use their unique talents to bring life to environmental and social issues. We utilize transmedia and performance art to shed light on crucial issues.

Whether you are a national organization or an individual, our community of ‘Movers’ will create effective and unique ways to express your vision, gain support and create awareness.

Enforced Arch would like to inspire the dance community to ask hypothetically, “What does it mean to be in forced arch?” This powerful position has great potential. Literally we arrive on our toes, yet bent at the knees and think, “do I leave it at that? Or challenge why the hell I’ve arrived here.” We hear our mentors ask us to be intelligent dancers and choreographers but what does this mean? The ‘Movers’ of Enforced Arch are intelligent communicators who create respect and compassion for all living things. Enforced Arch is a community for the intelligent dancer who seeks movements in which we can enforce how we utilize our position of being “in forced arch.”

“I choose dance as my form of communication and self expression because I feel speaking through movement is the natural global language. In addition,  I hope that my body and movement can serve as a vessel for social change and awareness.  My dancing is driven by my devotion to a cause and a desire to express truth.  If I can spark an emotion or idea in an audience member that leads to a positive change, then I have accomplished my goal. In a sense, I dance to be larger than myself.”
