MoMo Dance Theatre is English Canada's first fully integrated dance theatre company. Our workshops and performance opportunities are open to participants of all abilities, including; physical, sensory, neurological, developmental and cross diagnosis disabilities, their support, friends and family.

Our work is improvisation based, developing scores, within which each improvisation finds its inherent form. This is the point of access, allowing the artists to explore and express shared ideas and intentions within each artist's personal range, removing the boundaries of ability by working with them to create freedom, equality, and unique, diverse performance.
