General Mischief Dance Theatre is dedicated to reinforcing the power that joy and laughter have in communicating ideas.
We create dance adventures that are playful, accessible, and often interactive. Our goal is to combine high-level storytelling with high-quality movement, to remind audiences that dance is as much visceral as it is visual.
