The company was founded in 1995 by directors Julia Fischer and Greg Smucker, and designer Joe Stanley.
15 HEAD focused on creating original company works, employing a unique method of communal creation to bring their productions to the stage.
15 HEAD's productions were marked by a signature style featuring intense physical movement that included music, dance and visually dynamic design.
The company of professional directors, designers, actors and writers ignored the traditional problems between their specializations, so that all participants could provide input into each aspect of the production.
Although 15 HEAD was inspired by stories, legends and myths through an extensive discovery and rehearsal process, the finished product reflected the individual and collective strengths of each of the company members.
