Muliebris Dance Theatre, originally conceived by Samantha Bergman, Cristina Gustaitis, and Holly Heidt, was created in the fall of 2015. The company serves as a laboratory for investigating this life and the world around us. Our method calls for dedication and hard play. We employ the entire body in our storytelling, using the combined efforts of movement, voice, gesture, and expression to craft and shape each piece.
