Momentum Stage recognizes that in every community, we are all players in each other’s stories.
It is the Mission of Momentum Stage
to create accessible, multi-generational, live art, discussing relevant topics in our community. To do this, we provide resources and opportunities to artists and arts educators.
We are a space where young and professional artists can grow their skills, and where arts programs and organizations can find resources for growing theirs.

Land Acknowledgement
Our Land Acknowledgement is a living document. This version was written in July 2021.
Momentum Stage is based in Broward County Florida, which is the occupied land of the ancestral stewards of the land the Tequesta and Taino, as well as the current home to the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, and the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Despite occupation and displacement, The Seminole and Miccosukee peoples still live, work, and create in South Florida, while maintaining their culture, traditions, and sovereignty. Momentum Stage is located in the United States, all of which is stolen land, built up by stolen people.
We also want to recognize that we are coming to you via technology, a luxury. This technology is made possible by the natural resources of our environment, and contributes to the environmental crisis we are living in. In our South Florida home, this looks like sea-level rise and threats to the Everglades.
Additionally, this technology has a consumption cost that does often limit participation to people with a certain level of income.
As educators and creators, we know that there is value in embodied ways of knowing and taking action. We invite you to learn more about the Indigenous peoples on whose land you reside and create and the erased narratives of People of Color throughout history. We encourage you to take action to support causes important to your local Indigenous people and to bring these conversations to your students and your artwork in creative ways. If you are making your first steps in this work, check out native-land.ca to start your research. If you are seeking application, see the free resources on our Equitable Performing Arts Classroom page.
