Cantilever
Collective
"[...] their Table Talks proves that they know how to create a dance work." Jeff Slayton,LA Dance Chronicles (2024)
OUR JOURNEY
Cantilever Collective was formed out of a desire to use movement as a catalyst to build community. The group is made up of Los Angeles based dancers: Kya Bliss, Andrea Burr, Kaitwan Jackson, and Himerria Wortham, each bringing with them a diverse background spanning both commercial and concert dance. At its core, the group views movement as healing and a necessity to life. They eagerly embrace dance as a conduit to interdisciplinary play and collaboration. In addition to their stage and film credits, the group hosts monthly movement sessions open to artists of all disciplines.
When the rest of the world goes to sleep, another one wakes up.
Night Shift invites audiences into the city's hidden hours, where insomniacs, overnight workers, late-night wanderers, and strangers collide beneath buzzing neon signs and fluorescent lights. Created and performed by Cantilever Collective, this immersive dance-theatre work uncovers the extraordinary moments hidden inside the ordinary darkness.
Don't miss this limited two-night run on October 2 & 3, 2026. Experience an unforgettable evening of live performance at Highways Performing Arts Center in Santa Monica. Seating is intimate and tickets will go fast.
