MISSION: Big APE strives to create and promote art that is daring, provocative, and curious. Our work questions the standard conventions of dance and awakens audiences to a blend of performance that responds to the brutality and bliss of living and speaks to the humanness in all of us. We are not interested in entertaining, pleasing or holding your hand; we want to take you somewhere, somewhere that will make you think, feel, react, move, sit up, stand up and take action.
