MISSION:

The aTrek Dance Collective is a not for profit organization of St. Louis based dance artists dedicated to the development of local contemporary modern dance programs. We create opportunities for advanced training and development of dance artists and presentation of their work. aTrek offers community based activities including master classes, workshops, school residencies, and performances. We promote the values of artistic expression, physical awareness, and cultural diversity through dance.

COLLECTIVE STRUCTURE:

aTrek is a collective of local dance artists, headed up by Artistic Co-Directors Diana Barrios and Betsy Brandt. Second to producing artworks, our priorities include creating and offering cutting edge educational programing for young people. Our signature program, Moving Through Math is performed throughout St. Louis in schools. This very successful program integrates Math curriculum with movement and dance to help students develop a richer more genuine relationship to the material.


HISTORY:

In 1988, Atrek began as the performing duo of dancers/choreographers Angela Culbertson and Terry Pexton. Born with an uncanny willingness to risk, Artistic Director Angela Culbertson guided the company from its inception until the spring of 2003.

In 2003, Atrek Dance Company evolved into a collaborative group of artists. The Dance Collective presents works choreographed local artists and guest artists specially selected by the collective to represent the collective artistic vision. ..
