ABOUT ARCOS
ARCOS is a multi/trans/inter/anti-disciplinary group using dance and technology to imagine better futures for us all together. We primarily create via a method of hacking, or repurposing everyday technologies into performance, to inspire others to become more regular hackers of the systems in which we are made to operate. We hold an expansive understanding of technology that includes language, movement systems (like dance), and identity construction, as well as our material devices and the less visible network infrastructures that they access. We understand our bodies as highly intelligent, already hybrid, and existing in multiple spaces in nonlinear time. We consider our process and performance projects as rehearsals for survival in an increasingly complex world; growing our capacity to hold that complexity in ourselves and with each other.

ARCOS offers arts training, development, and service programming rooted in the slow, insistent work of imagining a more equitable future. Our programs provide multiple paths towards changework, ranging from the deeply personal to the widely relational. These programs take the shape of weekly classes, workshops, academic visits and residencies, microgrants, and production mentorship for independent performing artists. We understand our work to be a relational, rather than transactional, practice of sharing resources, knowledge, and care.
