Genna Moroni & G.U.M. (Gorgeous Ugly Movement Collective)
About G.U.M. Collective
Founded in 2020 by Artistic Director Genna Moroni, Gorgeous Ugly Movement (G.U.M.) Collective offers a space for dance artists to explore their range of self expression and storytelling through movement. Each process begins from an honest desire to understand and represent unique voices and talented individuals. A vocabulary developed through collaboration, curiosity, play and willingness is what has brought us here now.
