Art moves us
beyond borders
and boundaries.
Cultural diplomacy is not art delivered from one place to another. It is what happens when we make, learn, and imagine side by side.

Since 2011Creating together
A partnership, not a tour
Arrive with curiosity.
Leave with connection.
We begin by listening. Every Company E program is shaped with local artists, educators, cultural leaders, and communities—not simply presented to them.
Dance may open the door. Music, storytelling, technology, leadership, and education widen the conversation. What matters is the shared process: people making meaning together.
“This is the work the Company was built to do.”— Paul Gordon Emerson, Executive & Co-Artistic Director

Broadway
Bound
Celebrating the Great White Way around the world.

The Crimson
Fish
Tbilisi & Batumi, Georgia
A new visually imaginative work for children, families, and intergenerational audiences.
A young prince’s act of compassion begins a journey across rivers, cities, and mountains. Only when he learns to listen, cooperate, and value another life does he discover that kindness can restore a different kind of sight.
