The Lab

Aniccha, derived from the word anicca in Pali, can be interpreted as permanence of change. Its meaning is a driving force in our kinetic presence as an artistic entity.

Aniccha Arts is an interactive performance dance company. We live and breathe the arts, and strive to find a strong relationship between dance, sound, and media through interactivity while decreasing the divide between audiences and stage.

Our performances have interaction between audiences, performers and the media. Interaction influences the flow of performances which makes each show unique. Forms are usually derived from an Indian dance and music backgrounds, but usually adapt to the artistic skills and experience of the diverse artists in our transient group.  The content is created through conversation with various communities in the Twin Cities, addressing questions relevant to our ever evolving community.
