MUDA’s movement is based around the concept of capturing an emotion or a story through the body. Embodiment. MUDA creates work that seeks to bridge the gap between audiences and conversations about difficult subjects.

Hello.

We are a movement company.
We are a dance duo.
We are friends.
We make moves for film, live performances, and still images. We make dance to move you. We work with dancers and first-time movers. We believe that dance tells a story and we move bodies to narrate the experience of living.
We are gardeners. We live to excavate and find the hidden and untold.
We seek to start a conversation about the every day. The beauty, the sadness, the rawness that is life itself.

Let’s make something move
