Since the organization’s inception in 2009, NobleMotion Dance has collaborated with talented artists from a variety of disciplines, including light artists, technology designers, set designers, composers, actors, poets, and with organizations such as the Holocaust Museum Houston and the environmental agency Trash Bash. The company’s activities consist of producing evening length productions, touring and educational components, running an annual summer dance intensive, and directing its pre-professional company, NMD2. They have toured works and evening length productions to cities such as New York, Boston, Arizona, Dallas, Austin, Corpus Christi, Laredo, Amarillo, San Marcos, and Huntsville. Its artistic directors have also had their work commissioned by a number of companies including Repertory Dance Theater (Utah), Malashock Dance (San Diego), Urbanity (Boston), Dallas Black Dance Theater (Dallas) and Bruce Wood Dance Project (Dallas). Over the last decade plus, NMD’s programming has garnered national exposure and continues to serve as a vehicle for providing a high level of cultural excellence.

The company’s dance programming provides incredible opportunity for bringing together a diverse collection of artists and art-lovers in one place so that they may share and understand one another’s point of view on deep levels. Central to the company’s process is that all perspectives are valued, and we work as a team to build stories that feel representative of the collective whole. We aim to reduce barriers by inviting creatives from a variety of backgrounds to the table so that we may generate inclusive narratives that are greater than any one person. Our hope is that this way of working captures the attention of a wide range of viewers and turns a diverse population onto the power of dance.

NMD’s mission is to make work that is emotionally daring and honest; inspires discourse and understanding amongst diverse communities; and focuses on innovative collaborations in the arts and sciences with an emphasis on emerging technologies. By following this mission, NMD has become an integral and respected part of the Texas dance community. The primary goals of NobleMotion Dance include the following.
