ABOUT

Anchor 3

RED KEY DANCE THEATRE is Robin Neveu Brown and Kevin Alan Brown⎯ performers, directors, choreographers, and teaching artists. As co-directors of Red Key Dance Theatre, we have been creating physical/visceral/cerebral performance works that challenge the boundaries between dance, theatre, music, and performance art since 2006. Our work seeks to heighten the senses, ignite the imagination, burrow into the heart, and expose the beauty of the ordinary and everyday. We have performed, created, collaborated, and taught in various communities nationally as well as internationally in Russia, Albania, and Greece.

OUR VALUES AND MISSION

WE VALUE OPEN-DOOR CREATIVE PROCESSES THAT CULMINATE IN IMMERSIVE PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCES WITH THE POWER TO TRANSPORT AND TRANSFORM.

OUR MISSION IS TO CULTIVATE A COMMUNITY'S ABILITY TO UTILIZE THEATRE AND MOVEMENT TO ENGAGE, ACTIVATE, CHALLENGE, AND INSPIRE DIALOGUE.
