Alternative Synergy The Company (ASTC) was assembled with risk in mind: taking artists of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds and merging their arts to create a single story and vision. The company's mission is to move beyond the conventional by uniting diverse movements, cultures and people to create a new and unique style of art, which is unexpected, dynamic and explicitly “alternative”. ASTC features the strong emotional and cultural histories of street styles with classical ballet and contemporary movements, while creating narrative performances of universal experiences accessible for people of all backgrounds. Through an environment of mutual learning, exploration and curiosity of craft, the company combines balletic shapes, grooves, and illusive movements. ASTC prides themselves as risk-takers while maintaining accessibility to all audiences.
In Summer of 2018, ASTC premiered its first full-length production In NYC. The result was a sold-out show, made possible thanks to the love of 134 backers who collected $9,073, exceeding the company's initial goal of $8,000.
In December 2018, ASTC contributors sponsored the entire yearly educational program series, called Life Symphony by collecting $15,000.
Now, the company is looking to raise $8,000 that will sponsor the initial costs of its brand new production, Life Symphony.
