EPA is an ecological performance group that focuses on how we are interconnected with our environments. We came together in 2013 around a shared interest in place and performance. We are concerned with how place makes us and how we make place. EPA performers include dancers, sound and installation artists, theatre directors and academics. Most of us are trained in techniques of bodyweather, a butoh-derived training pioneered by Min Tanaka, who claimed, "When I dance. I don't dance in the place, but I am the place".
