about the pioneer winter collective

Established in 2016, Pioneer Winter Collective (PWC) is a physically integrated and intergenerational dance theater company that creates performances in public spaces, museums and galleries, stages, schools, and film. The work PWC creates seeks to expand the definition of all that dance is and can be, so all bodies survive, thrive, and are witnessed. Pioneer Winter Collective creates work that is queer, experimental, and fluid, embodying the complexities of identity and community in an ever-changing world. Performances are living, breathing works - embracing risk as a vital, dynamic force to push boundaries - in both movement and thought. PWC is driven by the need to challenge convention, constantly reimagining dance and performance as spaces of innovation and transformation.

We believe that every body dances, and every body has capacity for virtuosity.
