Good Trouble Makers are a Los Angeles-based, internationally engaged collective of artist-agitators committed to making art, space, change—and good trouble—inspired by the words of John Lewis. Their work explores what anti-racist, queer dance making, teaching, and performing can be, celebrating the resilience and creativity of queer and BIPOC communities. Through their artist-led network Dance in Progress, they challenge white, heteropatriarchal systems with a responsive, multigenerational approach. For them, intergenerational collaboration fuels growth, and their evolving, genre-expanding practice is rooted in joyful disruption.
