ABOUT: Martha Connerton/Kinetic Works is a multifaceted company whose mission is to foster awareness of dance as an art form that impacts lives in a direct, positive and evolving process. Kinetic Works was formed in 2000. The company offers a spectrum of programs including educational experiences for schools through the Kinetyx Dance Ensemble and KinetiKids artist residencies; professional concert performances and pre-professional training through special workshops; and Martha's work as a contemporary choreographer and guest teacher of ballet and modern dance a make up another strand in the spectrum.
Kinetic Works has a history of partnering with other arts organizations, non-profits, businesses and creative individuals. We believe the way to reach the largest number of people is to diversify our presence in the community. We bring dance to people rather then waiting for them to come to us.
