TILTshift Dance Theater, LAB & Choreographers' Collective aims to build relationships and community through the medium of contemporary dance and dance theater.

TILTshift Dance is a collective of collaborating dance artists, teachers and makers, founded in 2015 in San Francisco. Founder and Director Joyce Lien Kushner, gathered her friends and colleagues under TILTshift Dance as a means to share and promote their collective works and teachings. In 2019, Joyce moved back to her hometown of Del Mar, bringing TILTshift Dance with her and now engages with the San Diego dance community.

As dance makers, we create works for stage, film, and site specific. As dance teachers, we offer classes in modern, contemporary and conditioning/fitness. As dance educators, we hold workshops in choreography and encourage dialog through facilitated "wrecking" events. As community driven dance artists, we provide opportunities and space for other dance artists to work on their craft, to dig into the creative process, to tell their stories in their own voices.
