THE COMPANY & IT'S MISSION

Falling Flight Project is a not-for profit organization committed to dance as an empowering, collaborative and vital art form whose mission is to foster an interest in the arts. It is an organization dedicated to the growth of artists and the production of contemporary dance performance. Murphy-Fitch is interested in creating thoughtful and dense works where each dancer is an individual and yet there is unity described through a common language bringing the players back to the realization of their responsibility as a member of a relationship or of a society. The company is comprised of eight core members as well as a number of guest artists, all of whom have dedicated their artistic abilities, technical skills, and desire to dance to help make the company a powerful and important venue for the delivery of art to the community. Falling Flight Project serves as a vehicle to promote social awareness, awaken new (or sleeping) thought processes, deliver information through thoughtful story telling and to visually stimulate and entertain it's audience. A mixture of black humor and cynicism combined with the delicate nature and intimacy of human emotion, Murphy-Fitch's work provokes and excites the senses with a choreographic style that is versatile, athletic and sumptuous. The belief that dance should challenge the physical and mental boundaries of both the performer as well as the viewer pushes the choreographer to produce work that is diverse, culturally-inclusive and inspiring without boundaries.

Murphy-Fitch has dedicated a significant amount of her energy to the well-being of women and families through her practice as a midwife and her volunteer work as an advocate for victims of assault. Though she does not believe that her work as an artist should be a portrayal of her life experience in this venue, she is as dedicated to her mission of serving the community as an artist as she has been to the continued physical and emotional health of our community. Her desire to involve Falling Flight Project as an entity for educational outreach and community programs is genuine and the company's commitment is strong. Falling Flight Project is beginning its endeavor into educational activities and is committed to joining the number of powerful artists who presently exist in this circle. Thank you for your support and your patience as our journey begins.
