Our Donation Campaign is focused on strengthening our ability to reach and inspire even more people. This campaign is about more than funding our programming; it’s about fostering a vibrant, inclusive arts community where everyone feels welcome to engage, express, and be moved.

It has become a tradition that chair of the board, Kevin Woolrodge, opens each AGM with a reflection. The 2024 AGM, held on November 1st, was no exception.

Keely Whitelaw: Residency Reflections

One of the underlying goals of this residency was to make myself more comfortable on the ground, without an apparatus to hide on top of.

Untellable Movement Theatre is proud to offer a residency program dedicated exclusively to movement artists.

Amy Chafe is an independent Newfoundland artist who is fascinated by all types of movement. With a background in partner dance, she has in recent years expanded her view to include a multitude of new partners, such as fabrics, silks, ropes and even stone.

Untellable Movement Theatre is thrilled to introduce an exciting new chapter in our commitment to artistic innovation: the Digital Artist in Residence program.

A nurturing creative environment is the cornerstone of meaningful and impactful art-making. We understand that the conditions in which art is created impacts the quality and authenticity of the work in the room and the final product. Further, room conditions can have a lasting impact for artists long after a project’s end.

In the fall of 2020, Untellable Movement Theatre embarked on its inaugural project, “Mayflies Digital 2020,” a series that encapsulated the essence of our mission: making professional dance as accessible as possible.

"What exactly is movement theatre?", anyway? As a genre that blends various performance techniques, movement theatre can sometimes be challenging to define.

We often get asked, "Why movement and not just dance?" As a company deeply rooted in the art of dance, this question is both natural and insightful.

How Untellable Movement Theatre Got Its Name

Untellable Movement Theatre was born in 2020 with a bold vision: to make professional dance performances accessible to everyone. Founded by dance sector veteran, Lynn Panting, and supported by a dedicated founding board of directors—Kevin Woolridge, Leslie Pierce, Hilary Walsh, and Mark White—our journey began with a commitment to breaking down barriers and bringing the transformative power of dance to diverse audiences.
