Tumbleheart is now a memory.
We slow down time,
embrace the unknown and unexpected,
unleash the spirit of abandon.
leaning into the places that scare us,
expressing true stories vividly on the stage.

"spell binding, amazing, so deeply human, as good as it gets!"
“Tumbleheart takes you to the deepest places of the human heart. Laughing and crying all the way!"
Tumbleheart is seven people (us!) crazy enough to speak and move rich experiences from our lives in real-time, spontaneous memoir-scapes, co-written in the moment with one or more members of the ensemble. The memoirs emerge and take shape on the stage in a manner that uncover the magic hidden in everyday experiences.
OK, I get that it isn't sketch comedy. But what is it?
We perform(ed) improvised, autobiographical, physical theater in solo, duet and ensemble forms as a celebration of our shared humanity. We rejoice in the transformative power of storytelling.
We are deeply grateful for the pioneering work of Nina Wise, the inspired and masterful founder of Motion Theater™, and Corey Fischer, a seasoned ensemble artist and our frequent coach. Motion Theater is where we as an ensemble came together and found our voice, and it continues to be our core artistic practice (see Motion Theater).
You might laugh, you might cry, you might just see yourself in us. We're in this together, after all.
