The UMO School of Physical Arts

We inspire creative possibility and recognize students’ creative force by giving them a safe place to learn and a variety of tools based on UMO’s dynamic physical theatre.

Courage. Creation. Connection.

The UMO School instructs hundreds of students, both children and adults, in a variety of physical arts – including Acro Gymnastics, Aerial, Parkour, Skateboarding, and Martial Arts, and Physical Theater. The UMO School is proud to provide a place for people of diverse backgrounds to explore the arts, foster creative expression, and engage in a welcoming and supportive community.

Founded in 2009 by members of the UMO Ensemble, the school sought to cultivate the next generation of physical performers. More than 15 years later, UMO School gives students an opportunity to perform their art in the bi-annual UMO School Showcase. The 2025 Spring Showcase was the school's largest-to-date, with more than 100 students performing for more than 500 audience members.
