DANCING & DISCOVERING IN THE DEEP END.

EXCAVATE BODY, an Atlanta-based dance company, leans into its physically demanding movement language, utilization of palpable imagery and visual art informed practices, and spontaneous and generative processes, to produce works that are interested in digging away at what is possible, probable, and true. 

EXCAVATE BODY plays with a tension-inducing juxtaposition: floating effortlessly in the unknown, while diving head first into embodied effort & rigor. This makes for a visceral push and pull that encourages viewers to throw themselves off their center, and into the deep end with us.

Digging, searching, uncovering, and making meaning, again and again.

“…the movement language created a tense, violent environment. In what kind of world do people slap themselves in the face? In what kind of world do they smash a raw egg onto their forehead — not for laughs?”
