what remains true (a letter from Sarah)

After I was injured in 2009, I barely danced for two years.  I didn’t even want to watch a dance performance. I felt so heartbroken, so betrayed by my body. The only path forward I could see was for dance – the love of my life – to cease to exist (which was pretty difficult […]

how movement becomes visual art becomes representation

Our physically integrative dance company has a brand new logo!  Calling it a “logo” feels insufficient – it is truly a work of art, created lovingly by California artist Kathryn Bishop.  Kathryn’s greatest inspiration for her abstract, minimalist figures is movement – the process of creating this piece was a beautiful collaborative dance between Kathryn and, me, […]

our mission

Art as Action brings people together at the intersection of dance, (dis)ability and creative potential.

17 years of Artivism

Art as Action was founded in 2002 to be a collaborative collective of Artivists— which we define as champions and ambassadors of the communal, universal, and healing language of art. Artivism emboldens the distinct, rare creativity deep within each individual.

OUR MISSION: Art as Action brings people together at the intersection of dance, (dis)ability and creative potential.
