Welcome to A.O. PRO(+ductions)

We’re glad you found us, and we can’t wait to help!

In early 2009, I started work on a new company model for my dance company, the A.O. Movement Collective. This model was comprised of three parts: artistic, business, and community-focused. A.O. PRO(+ductions) is the business-third of the model, and focuses on providing artists with affordable freelance arts management, consulting, and design work.

Explore the site, check out what we offer, and then drop us a line! We’d love to hear what you’re working on and where you’d like to go! For more information on the other two parts of the A.O. Family, check out our community hub the Urgent Artist Blog, and the A.O. Movement Collective website, and for more info about PRO, just click the link to the right.

Hope to hear from you soon!
