BigKid Dance is a queer movement community based in Philadelphia. We create collaborative, thought-provoking contemporary dance works reflecting on love, grief, curiosity, fear and identity in today’s society primarily through a queer lens. Our mission is to utilize imaginative movement, in practice and performance, as a bridge or invitation to community, communication and understanding. We hope to nurture a healthy environment with creativity and collaboration at the forefront, blending many mediums, styles and voices into our works. And above all, BIGKIDS is making space for all and anyone within the dance community who just want to move!
