ArtActs...

The ideas and material :

* we use dance, movement, sculpture, media, projection, music & sound.

* we use themes dealing with social healing; beauty, life, death, ritual, relationships, rites of passage and peace.

* our performance pieces are juxtaposed...surreal and abstract forms of art with life.

*Artacts performances are a statement about how we perceive our existence and the world; the present and the future.

*performances are presented in a way that children and adults can understand, enjoy and have some thoughts about.
