impulse theatre: creating in the expanse

OUR MISSION/mandate


Impulse Theatre creates embodied interdisciplinary theatre and dance performance. The company hosts a community of local, regional, and national artists to collaborate, conspire, create, and learn. Impulse provides springboards for arts workers and performance makers to test new creations, develop their agency, and bridge the gap to the next level of opportunities. Impulse carves out space for work outside of the mainstream and seeks to challenge audiences' relationship to performance.
