Yaraqa is a creative production
& consulting company
that leverages dance practices
and thinking in movement methodologies
to create lasting impact
across communities and industries.
Since 2014, we’ve helped
people and organizations
(re)shape how they perceive
and move through the world
— from different vantage points,
with intentionality and overlap.
In a world where realities and boundaries
are constantly shifting,
bridging the gap between
the perceived and the lived,
aligning actions with interactions,
has become essential.
Therefore, how everything holds together
— thought, action, experience, engagement —
becomes key to finding sustainable
and creative ways forward.
why dance practice
& thinking in movement?
what we offer
We work with and for community groups,
industry players, brand leaders; as a creative partner.
We produce, consult, research and develop,
concepts, tools, strategies, and collaborations,
bringing unlikely people and disciplines together
with ‘dance & movement’ as
the unifying force.
Our services & products are responsive,
versatile, and cross-disciplinary
extending beyond traditional settings
into unexpected spaces that are
digital, physical, and hybrid.
Intention comes first;
format comes last!
