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. We are Grey Matter(s).

"Impulse Control, or The Weight of What We Can’t See," is a carefully crafted, immersive movement experiment that explores the physical and emotional manifestations of mood complexity. Through movement, sound, and audience proximity, the work invites audiences into an environment where internal experiences become visible, felt and shared. The piece asks what happens when we attempt to navigate impulses, emotions, and the weight of what remains unseen while existing in community with others.

• EMERGING ARTISTS | Sep. 25-27 | Galvin Playhouse Theater • This Emerging Artist production will include Rae Grey’s work: “Impulse Control, or The Weight of What We Can’t See” ABOUT THE PIECE: Impulse Control, or The Weight of What We Can’t See, is a carefully crafted, immersive movement experiment that explores the physical and emotional manifestations of mood complexity.

Movement is my primary artistic language. It functions as a translator, transforming thoughts, feelings, memories, and histories into embodied storytelling. From the East Coast to the West, my journey has been shaped by exploration, improvisation, and a willingness to follow paths both visible and unseen. As a Black woman and movement artist, my research dwells in complexity: the tensions between vulnerability and power, control and surrender, visibility and invisibility, and emotional and physical labor. I am particularly interested in how mood complexity intersects with identity, community, and creative process. My work asks how our lived experiences shape the ways we create, connect, and move through the world, and how creativity can become a space for navigating what is difficult to name, see, or hold. These questions shape my choreography and continually push my resilience, imagination, and understanding of embodied experience. Each movement, gesture, and spatial choice becomes an invitation to probe, question, and reveal. Improvisation, intuition, and elasticity of form fuel my practice, allowing ideas to collide, shift, and transform. I strive to create environments where stories can unfold fully, where tension and stillness coexist with momentum and release, and where both th
