collaborating artists

A performer is dancing on stage in front of an audience sitting in chairs. The audience includes men and women watching the performance. To the right, a musician is playing a saxophone. The room has artwork on the walls and purple ceiling lights.

Our work is shaped through collaboration beyond the dance studio.

Community collaborators are artists working across disciplines who have contributed to — and continue to shape — projectALCHEMY’s creative ecosystem. These collaborators expand the language of the work, bringing new perspectives, tools, and ways of thinking into each process.

Artists we collaborate with span:

  • Visual and scenic arts

  • Photography and film

  • Wordsmithing and storytelling

  • Theatre and performance

  • Music and sound

Some join us for a single project or event; others return across seasons. Each collaboration is rooted in shared inquiry, trust, and curiosity — allowing dance to exist in conversation with other forms of expression.

These interdisciplinary relationships are essential to our practice. They allow the work to stretch beyond a single medium and invite audiences into layered, immersive experiences that reflect the complexity of contemporary performance.

Collaboration is not an add-on — it is part of the practice.
