CONTRA-TIEMPO is a multilingual activist dance-theater company that uses art as a catalyst for social change. Rooted in the belief that dance is a powerful form of resistance and healing, their work centers communities of color and creates spaces where all people are awakened to a sense of themselves as artists and social change agents who move through the world with compassion, confidence, and joy.Their practice is grounded in three core trunks: Artistic Production, Community Engagement, and Dance Education/Leadership Development—each working in synergy to inspire action, build collective power, and reimagine a more just and loving world.
