The artists that comprised Social Movement Contemporary Dance Theater (SMCDT) embrace diversity and inclusivity. They cultivate the company's versatile aesthetic through their range of styles and techniques. 

Social Movement Contemporary Dance Theater presents work to diverse audiences that reflects the historical impact of social inequities on contemporary social ideas and values. SMCDT performs original work that addresses the cultural boundaries, limitations, and expectations of the human experience, fueled by founding Artistic Director, Elijah Alhadji Gibson's passion for presenting thought-provoking work.

"I think it is important to share our experiences; only then can we begin to understand each other. I am a storyteller at heart, and passionate about presenting work that addresses the human condition."
- Artistic Director Elijah Alhadji Gibson
