CUSTOM SHOWS Strike Anywhere transforms your community, school, or organization’s stories into original, immersive performances. Through workshops, interviews, and on-site residencies, the ensemble gathers stories, dreams, hopes, and challenges directly from participants and reshapes them into songs, scenes, movement, costumes, and props that animate the lived experience of that group.

Past commissions include Tune on a Distant Hill (Chandler Center for the Arts), a portrait of life in central Vermont drawn from interviews and workshops with residents; Pliable Futures (Mov!ng Culture Projects & The Segal Center), a durational, site-specific performance confronting global plastic waste through music, movement, and a sculptural net made of the ensemble’s own six weeks of plastic trash; Des Souvenirs (Lycée Français de New York), a series of site-specific performances inspired by alumni stories in celebration of the school’s 90th anniversary; Riverhead (Two River Theater), a joyful performance marking the opening of a new theater building; The Weather Project (NACL Theatre) and Eating Our Way to Extinction (Globesity Festival), which engaged entire communities in tackling issues from climate change to overconsumption.

Each of these projects was built with deep community involvement at every stage. Strike Anywhere designs its process to maximize participation: from interviewing residents, activists, and scientists, to inviting local artists, schools, and organizations into the rehearsal room, to transforming lobbies into community art installations, and even leading town-hall conversations after performances. Whether that means 100 neighbors performing onstage in The Weather Project or audiences connecting with advocacy groups after Same River, these custom shows become catalysts for connection, dialogue, and action.
