THE COMPANY BACK TO HOME

GO BEYOND YOURSELF

NO ONE WAY
TO TELL
A STORY.

A multidisciplinary creative company bringing movement, theatre, and different artistic voices together to create original stories for stage and screen.

WHO WE ARE

DIFFERENT
ARTISTS.
ONE VISION.

Alternative Synergy The Company is a New York-based multidisciplinary artistic company founded in 2017. We bring together dancers, actors, choreographers, writers, and creative collaborators to explore the complexity of human experience.

Each artist arrives with their own experiences, artistic language, and perspective. Rather than asking everyone to fit one mold, we make those differences part of the work we create together.

THE IDEA BEHIND THE NAME

Synergy is the cooperation of evolving individuality.

INSIDE THE PROCESS

BEYOND
THE STEPS.

At ASTC, movement is more than choreography, and storytelling is more than dialogue.

Our work draws on acting, movement, improvisation, musicality, and the individual perspectives artists bring into the rehearsal room.

MOVEMENT Exploring how posture, physical choices, rhythm, and movement communicate a character's inner life.
ACTING & CHARACTER Working with scripts, scenes, objectives, subtext, emotional shifts, and relationships that drive the story.
COLLABORATION Actors, dancers, writers, and other artists bringing different creative languages into one evolving work.

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

ARTISTIC GROWTH
IS ALSO PERSONAL GROWTH.

As a dancer, performing is deeply personal because it reveals not only your artistic growth, but also your personal growth.

READ THE FULL NOTE CLOSE THE NOTE

At ASTC, we intentionally challenge artists to take risks, be vulnerable, and break through convention.

Our creative process brings together artists of different ages, nationalities, disciplines, and backgrounds. Through their art, cultures, experiences, and perspectives, they create synergy: a single story and a shared vision strengthened by each individual's contribution.

Our aim is to inspire and empower audiences to take bold risks in their own lives and create the impact they want to see in themselves, their communities, and the world.
