Who are we?

Grey Matters is an interdisciplinary, creative, and generative artist-based collective founded and led by Rae Grey We believe that we exist in a state of process and processing over product. Why? Because it allows us to sink into an idea a little deeper and better understand the “why’s” behind anything and everything we do. Why not?

Sure, we are a group rooted in movement, experimentation, and reflection, but we are also living in the gray, right at the junction of impulse and control, what gets seen and what is overlooked, how we can both live in process and in processing simultaneously.

Through dance, immersive performance, sound, visual environments, and collaborative processes, we explore the complicated, often unseen parts of human experience. As a collective, we are drawn to questions that lead to more questions instead of answers, experiences that cannot be categorized and sorted neatly into compartments, and the things that others perhaps might not think twice about.

Like gray matter in the brain that helps process information, control actions, and manage emotions, we too find ourselves in a constant and evolving state of process and processing. Always evolving and unraveling.

You might miss something. You might catch everything.
Either way, you’re in it now.
Catch what you can.

What if process was the performance? 🌱

Not polished. Not finished. Just in process, and that’s exactly where we’re meant to be.
