What are they doing? What is happening?
Humorphous celebrates the animals that float, swing, slither and soar inside us. With a foundation of field research and observation, Humorphous dancers embody animal behaviors. Inspired by the transformations, Zoo visitors often spontaneously participate -they Humorphous.
Humorphous presents a collection of gregarious megafauna. PKC dancers, though magnificent and powerful, are not dangerous. Zoo visitors get to have one-on-one interactions with animals. Humorphous performers are active when other animals nap. Architecture and grounds are enjoyed in unprecedented ways.
Humorphous is getting ready to migrate to Prospect Park Zoo. Come see us in our zoo habitat:

Why?
Because we think variety of movement and behavior is wonderful and valuable. Due to human activity and behavior the wilderness is disappearing and species are rapidly becoming extinct. Humorphous is a response. See links.Who are we?
