We are Here Now. Our bodies sing your stories. We are humans fishing for humans. Acknowledging the fast pace of our society and embracing the impermanence of life, HNDC feels the urgency. There is no time to be passive, to sit in a dark theater and wait for our audience. We are bringing our dances to you. Taking our cue from counter culture and the guerrilla art movement, we hit the streets and leave our hearts on the grass, beside a building, near a stream, on a sidewalk, splattered on the pavement…
Here Now Dance Collective originated as a simple gathering of friends and performers. Together they collaborate in a playful, disciplined way. Each project has its own aesthetic, and with this freedom the group creates warm, often charmingly awkward scenes.
The Here Now Dance Collective wants to wake you up—wants to awaken its dancers, its audience, its fellow human bone-creatures who at this exact moment are pumping blood in and out of aortic valves. Maybe some of us are sleeping, maybe some are worried, maybe some are filled with joy because we are celebrating the opportunity to breathe in what’s left of the earth’s purified, oxygenated air. Whatever the case is, the company’s name is not ambiguous, and our mission is clear.
