MARE NOSTRUM ELEMENTS acts as a production company for artists whose vision fits MNE’s mission of creating emotionally-driven stage work that explores and celebrates dance, theater and movement. These collaborative productions are offered to the community at low cost.
Our mission is to promote the work of other companies, choreographers, directors, etc. who focus on the truthfulness of the character and are unique in their portrayal of the human condition. With its dedication to emotional stage craft and experimentation, MNE is committed to facilitating performances which might not otherwise be staged due to prohibitive costs or other factors. The production company is always seeking new expressions of theater and dance that need help to become fully realized.
