About

Exit Dance Theatre, a modern dance company based in Newburyport, Massachusetts, was founded in 1987 by Susan Atwood, Fontaine Dollas, Cheryl Fisher, Stephen Haley and Linda Lazzaro. Exit's style is deeply rooted in theater techniques, improvisation and collaboration. Founding members wanted the movement to open up beyond traditional styles in order to explore the limitless range of possibilities through the body not the head; through imagining not thinking.

​

Exit has has had the pleasure with performing to the live music of: Danny Harrington, Roger Ebacher, Ronnie Earl, The Gospel Unlimited Choir, E.J. Ouellette, Jason Novak and more. Exit performs on the North Shore and in Boston, and opened for Anna Smulowitz' “Terezin”, in Auschwitz, Poland. Exit is a member of the Boston Dance Alliance.

"Founding members wanted the movement to open up past traditional styles in order to allow new ways to express images and stories; to create by being in the body not the head; through imagining not thinking."
