Erin Pryor Dance Theatre

Erin Pryor Dance Theatre is a performance group that creates site specific performances for communities that have gone through an unexpected trauma. We begin with learning about the community we are going to work with; the people, the physical community, and the event that took place. We than create a dance performance from what we learned to help the community through their healing process. This performances not only gives perspective on where the individuals are in their healing process but it also gives the individuals a new common ground to reconnect with those around them. We find that it is much easier to heal with a support system but grief usually makes a person revert inward, not wanting to connect with others. We are a non for profit and are continuously looking for new communities to work with and supporters.
