Mission Statement

Martha Connerton/Kinetic Works is a multifaceted company whose mission is to foster awareness of dance as an art form that impacts lives in a direct, positive and evolving process.

Company Overview

Kinetic Works was formed in 2000. The company offers a spectrum of programs including educational experiences for schools through the Kinetyx Dance Ensemble and KinetiKids artist residencies; professional concert performances and pre-professional training through Kinetic Works SummerDance; and Martha’s work as a contemporary choreographer and guest teacher of ballet and modern dance a make up another strand in the spectrum.

The company had its concert debut with SummerDance in July and August of 2003 at the Afro American Cultural Center in Charlotte. Audience attendance and response confirmed that Charlotte is ready and waiting for an exciting new professional dance company. Boasting a roster of the finest contemporary dancers in the Charlotte area, Martha’s refreshing and unique choreographic work is a welcome addition to the menu of cultural arts in our growing city.

In response to the quality of programming and the clear path of growth and development demonstrated by Ms. Connerton and her company, Kinetic Works has been approved by the board of the Arts and Science Council of Charlotte as an Associate Organization as of the spring 2003.
