Mission

Forklift Danceworks activates communities through a collaborative creative process.

Often presented in large-scale, site-specific settings, our free performances consistently play to capacity, with audiences of 500-6,000 people. Partners have included Austin's African American Cultural Heritage District, Austin's Aquatics, Fire, Sanitation, Power, and Parks & Recreation Departments, and Goodwill of Central Texas. Forklift has been commissioned by the National Performance Network, the Fusebox Festival, Wesleyan University, the Kyoto Arts Center, and others.
