About TK Dance Lab: 

TK Dance Lab is an experiential dance company and virtual platform that connects dance artists across area codes and advocates for social change through dance. 

TK Dance Lab Mission: 

-Use collaboration and exploration in dance to connect artists across state lines and area codes

-Make social justice a priority and use dance to create change in the world

-Stand firm in our commitment to keeping inclusion, equity and diversity at the forefront of our practice

-Fearlessly tell real stories through choreography; stories that include the social and political unrest that is only ever argued over or swept under the rug. TK Dance Lab presents these issues through a thought-provoking performance, allowing for the audience to have their own internal dialogue, connect to the story and see the issues through a new lens.
