Migration Theory is a physical art company. We’re makers, movers, writers, actors, dancers, musicians, filmmakers. We’re artists exploring the spaces between artistic disciplines in order to create original work that is site-specific, kinetic, participatory, heartfelt. We believe in the potential and power of real-time art experiences. We seek kid joy in all we do. We blend innovation and traditional storytelling techniques. We’re SITI-Company trained: we continue that training together and share that training with others. We collaborate with local artists and with artists from across the country. We aspire to bring our work to other places. Our motto is: create one, learn one, teach one.
