Who We Are:

The Collectif Project is A faith-based collective of professional dancers and choreographers founded and curated by Megan Atkinson. The Collectif Project was established as an environment for professional dancers and choreographers in the DMV that are engulfed in their spiritual paths just as well as the technical facets of this art form. We are an outlet company that has interchanging members for different performances including solo, group, and collaborative projects. We are more than just a dance company. We are more than just performers. We are a ministry. We are rooted in liturgical dance but there is no specific technique that we follow, rather we have created a style by combining the many different techniques we all have been immersed in. Our ministry is our physical expression of our acknowledgment of God. We are restoring and expanding the stereotypes of liturgical dance. We are using our training and talents for God's glory. Our dance is an offering to the Lord, it is our gift to him! “For many are called but few are chosen” Matthew 22:14

Our mission is tri-fold:

— To provide an environment for professional dancers and choreographers to work as a group, using each member's individual, distinctive style to create and perform new works.

— To connect with local and international arts communities through collaborations with other artists, guest residencies and performance projects to enrich and empower involvement in the arts and spirituality.

— To promote dance as an art form and provide opportunities for artists to develop their artistry.

No matter the demographic, or region in the world, there is such a deep and enriching cross-cultural experience when dance ministry is explored and shared during missions. It is such a humbling experience to be a part of a group of people coming together who may not speak the same language, or come from the same background, or live in the same conditions – but can connect in a very authentic way, building trust and community through movement and a love for God.

Please partner with us and help us spread the gospel and impact generations!
