Created by Tina Croll and Jamie Cunningham, From the Horse’s Mouth is a celebratory dance/theater production that has received standing ovations for its captivating story-telling and exceptional dancing and rave reviews from critics around the United States. The performers – outstanding dancers and choreographers of all ages and dance traditions – tell personal stories from their lives, then perform movement of their own choosing, sometimes interacting with another dancer. The stories range from humorous to poignant and reveal personal moments of loss, joy, frustration, and triumph.

Here’s how it works:  Tina and Jamie work closely with key representatives from dance communities all over the country, identifying dancers of all ages, styles, and nationalities residing in each area. They then curate and produce a Horse’s Mouth performance, using either all local performers, or a combination of local dancers and well-known professional dancers from New York. In this way, each production of From the Horse’s Mouth is a new “chapter” of the piece – no two performances are ever the same. For example, a production in a university may focus on alumni and faculty; or, a venue may want to focus on a specific lineage or tradition. Because the structure is simple, From the Horse’s Mouth can be rehearsed and performed in three days. This is a superior event that engages the local dance community in a singular experience, and builds a dance audience at the same time. It can be used to highlight an anniversary year, the opening of a new venue, or simply to celebrate the cultural diversity in the community.
