Curious? Creative? Looking for Connection? - This is for you!

Andrea Ariel Dance Theatre invites YOU—community members, neighbors, and visitors alike—to take part in a joyful, welcoming creative experience.

As part of the City of Austin Artist Access Program and the AACME Elevate grant, we’re gathering voices from across the community to help shape our new performance project, Still. Here. Now., premiering this September 25-26 at the Boyd Vance Theatre at the Carver.

No experience needed!

Come as you are and:

• Connect with new people
• Explore movement, storytelling, and creative play
• Share your voice in a supportive, inclusive space
• Be part of something meaningful in the Austin arts community

Who is this for?

Everyone!

• All ages (youth with a parent/guardian)
• All physical abilities
• No dance or theater background needed
• Artists and non-artists welcome—musicians, singers, movers, thinkers, and the simply curious

What to expect

In a relaxed and welcoming environment, we’ll:

• Play interactive theater and movement games
• Share stories and lived experiences
• Reflect, laugh, and create together
• Build connections across cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives

Quotes from past participants
