About

Founded in 2020 and under the artistic direction of Sarah Tran, TranScend Motion (TM) is a creative company based in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. TM converges movement making across various art implements to produce original dance works including digital film works and live stage works. Our works revolve around honesty, imperfections, and resistance against the currents of socially constructed standards. TM strives for opportunities to perform and create in collaboration with artists around the world as we spread our dance narratives to the community.

TM mission

The mission of TranScend Motion is to create works that communicate human lifestyles and narratives through movement. TM demonstrates the holistic nature of diversity, and together, we embrace beauty and creativity in the neglected human imperfections.

TM values

Cohesiveness

We are sharing a community, space, and time as well as relationships. We share our creativity and support for one another as artists through collaboration. There are no measurements nor competition among artists, but rather we are sharing the same environment with a cohesive and professional manner. We create interpersonal relationships between dancers by catalyzing their unique selves to take part in the same world and to share the same energy.

Risk Taking

We invigorate the constant curiosity and exploration of movements. Stimulate in experimentation and praxis, willing to take risks, experience disorientations, and adapt to unfamiliarity.

Honesty

We find efficacy in honest movers, thinkers, and creators. Truth and integrity are indeed pivotal strengths within our community and environment. We genuinely trust in one another and become whole. We enforce a safe space free of judgment and discrimination.
