#JoinTheMovement
The Breakthrough Movement is a community of artists committed to provoking positive change and inspiring action through culturally relevant art, dance and theatre. It is our commitment to live and dance in a way within our local communities to inspire global change, one community at a time.
We believe that the presence of art, and the role that art plays in society, is far greater than it's ‘commercial’ value. In fact, art inherently is NOT commercial in nature. Finding ‘success’ as an artist has many many more levels than the narrow target that it is made out to be.
Now, more than ever, we believe that drawing our communities closer together is essential to our survival, let alone professional or artistic achievement. We are living in a time of social distancing and self isolation; a time of derision, divisiveness, and division. We believe that artistic expression plays a vital role in forcing social introspection, provoking change and the releasing of ideas that are damaging to or no longer of service to the greater good of our global community and collective humanity. We believe that artistic expression is an essential part our healing process and a gateway to finding common ground so that we can move forward together.
