Most of us met in college. We were friends and we were eager to make things together. From this, Motlee Party emerged with an aim to establish a collective focused on long-term projects. In February of 2020 our first production took place, serving as the impetus for the collective and its prolonged work. In 2021, the company toured internationally for the first time and has since permeated Europe and LATAM by way of festivals and residencies. Motlee Party’s first commission premiered in March 2024, in full circle, at the Boston Conservatory. With the company spread around the world, our ideas often emerge in bars, on sidewalks, and over long calls in the bath. And when we’re able to come together, half-formed ideas find their feet; we just work to keep up with them.

MOSHPIT is a class for movers of every discipline. The workshop acts as an engine, focusing on the intricacies of imagery, force, and the versed physical body. The structure centers around a stream of movement that encourages imagination to move with abandon. Incorporating repetition, sensation-based cues, and the permission to be frustrated, movers are gradually immersed into the mosh pit: a rush of energy and cadence through our collective body.
