Magical tales of real dancers

From the Horse’s Mouth celebrates the
"heart and history of dance"

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, with rave reviews from critics around the United States.

In each production, 25 performers – outstanding dancers and choreographers of all ages and all 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.

Premiered in 1998 at Joyce Soho in New York City with modern dancers and choreographers, subsequent productions have become more diverse featuring dancers with backgrounds in African, Flamenco, East Indian, Irish, Japanese, clogging, hip-hop, tango, jazz, tap, ballet, and Broadway.
