Who We Are

Grey Box Collective is a dance theater performance group that makes original shows about social and emotional well-being rooted in social issues. We see social and emotional well being as embodying high levels of self-awareness, understanding the body-mind connection, and being connected with the community. Most of our work over the past few years has focused on mental health and sexual violence.
