A+A

A+A is a dance company co-founded and co-directed by Alyssa Noble and Allie Pfeffer. A+A makes art that is inclusive, financially accessible, and socially responsible. We prioritize working with marginalized groups, specifically as it pertains to gender identity and sexuality.

Creatively we are interested in imbalance and instability - both as they exist in the world at large and as they exist in the human body. Rather than trying to manufacture a specific emotional response, we build an environment where endless possible responses exist. 

While modern dance is our primary medium, we believe that a variety of viewpoints or modalities will always serve the work and the audience. We don't want to limit the effectiveness of our work by too strictly adhering to an art form that for some is financially, culturally, or historically inaccessible.

Breaking down barriers around modern dance is a way we facilitate connections and build community in Durham.
