OUR MISSION
The Anthropologists is a company of artists dedicated to the creation of investigative, socially relevant, and engaging theatrical work. We train together on a regular basis using physical theater and contemporary dance techniques to devise organic, ensemble-based work. We are committed to researching topics from an anthropological perspective in order to break down and unleash cultural discoveries.

What We Do
We create original, ensemble-devised theatrical events using improvised work, original and found text and inspirational artifacts (paintings, songs, poems, etc.)
How We Do It
Consistent training through bi-weekly jam sessions and commissioned workshops.
Our movement-based training is inspired by Viewpoints, Biomechanics. Liz Lerman along with other techniques and master teachers.
