ABOUT OUR PERFORMANCES
NewGround performances are moving and immersive experiences that are renowned for the ways they explore topics that both inspire and challenge. Storyline concepts and themes center around:
-
compassion
-
equity
-
inclusion
-
unity
A unique aspect of many of NewGround performances is the opportunity for participants to become involved in group discussion, spontaneous writing experiences, or creating their own art by crafting original art-response pieces at pre-show events.
AUM produces all multi-media and performance material presented by NewGround Theatre Dance Company. AUM and NewGround together have developed a compelling engagement approach between performers and audience members which has received notoriety at local, national and international levels.
NewGround explores contemporary variations in movement style, and curates new storyline concepts in its delivery of original works for the community.

The dance at the end was so beautiful and moving. I don't even know that I have words to describe my experience of it, which on some level feels right to me. So much of this important healing that needs to happen won't and can't involve words. I want to thank you for creating space for us, to share your process with us, and to inspire us to be brave, feel, and tune in to such a deeply meaningful and difficult topic.
