Led by ideas of inclusion, growth mindset, and diversity, Petra’s choreographic work examines “How can the art I make contribute to positive change in the world (Not just naming what’s wrong but enacting what is better.). Combining the work of an artivist with a choreographer, she is bringing dance, music and audience together to explore the kinds of communities we want in a post-Pandemic world.
