Co-founded in 2022 by Laura Kaufman and Rachel Thalman, Woman in Motion, a female-led, project-based and multifaceted dance company with both jazz and balletic elements, produces high quality shows that highlight the individual voices of its dancers through a variety of original dance works.

​

In an industry known to type-cast and confine artists into a particular mold, Woman in Motion provides a space where individuality is encouraged and celebrated. Our artistic endeavors are catered towards the dancers themselves and are centered around featuring their diverse talents. Woman in Motion is a company for the artist.

​

We provide a nurturing and collaborative environment for our dancers to work with emerging and established choreographers, who, in turn, have the canvas to produce original pieces for Woman in Motion’s ever-growing repertoire. The disparity between the amount of female-identifying dancers and the opportunities for employment in the dance field is prominent and it is important to us to offset this imbalance. Woman in Motion prides itself on curating works that are female-forward to provide a space for
these powerful female-identifying voices to be heard.

​

Through Woman in Motion, we catalyze a growing network of artists such as dancers, choreographers, visual artists, costume designers, photographers, and musicians to work in a synergetic movement that reaches artists and audiences outside the scope of the dance community.

​

Woman in Motion has gained a reputation in our community for curating heart-forward, soulful and uplifting shows that are accessible for all ages and demographics. Producing accessible shows for our community through affordable ticket prices, aids our vision of engaging with all kinds of audiences. We feel that all humans should have access to art as it is a necessity to the human condition. Our shows feature a variety of works ranging in different styles, pulling at different emotions and resulting in a moving evening with something for everyone. This has created a strong community around the company, who offers a vast amount of support in the continued progress of Woman in Motion. 

​

Woman in Motion, at its core, believes that true systemic and artistic change will come from the artist's initiative. We strive to spread our deep passion for the art form to those around us. We believe that art saves us day after day and this essence is infused into our shows, providing a transformative experience for our collaborators and audiences.
