Brian Sanders’ JUNK is known for their ingenious use of found objects and clever inventions that bridge the gap between dance and physical theater. Sanders’ choreography blends traditional dance theater with an inventiveness and physicality that gives reason for critics to hail JUNK as “Philly’s most imaginative perpetrator of dare-devilish physical theater” and declare Sanders as “the city’s most exciting choreographer.”

Brian built his signature style by creating off-the-wall choreography with found objects and other discarded debris giving way to the troupe’s name, JUNK. “I like to find the dance inside these pieces of junk; something unique and unexpected that gives us [the audience] a new and inspiring look on life,” says Sanders. The troupe’s shows are an exhilarating feast of exciting physicality and creativity, elegantly served up with beauty and wit. Dance Magazine cites Sanders' work as “accessible, technically flawless, and thrilling comic dance turns.”

One of the company’s main objectives is to make dance more accessible to a younger audience. JUNK does this through outreach and the performance of its children’s theater show; inspiring young audiences throughout the city with its unique creativity and artistry.

Junk maintains its home season in Philadelphia, PA as a headliner for the Live Arts Festival where the company’s inventive performances have sold out year after year.
