Ditch Productions is a provocative contemporary performing arts group co-directed by Nathalie Joachim and Robert Robinson. Through their fusion of sound, image, movement, and design, they bridge the gap between the accessibility of popular culture and the complexities of classical art. Combining their original choreography, compositions, and videography, Ditch cultivates an enlightened audience through innovative and interdisciplinary productions.

Ditch works have been featured internationally as well as in many notable New York City venues including The Access Theater, Bowery Poetry Club, Symphony Space, Galapagos ArtSpace, and The Puffin Room. They have also been featured as part of a documentary aired on PBS. Both graduates of The Juilliard School, Joachim and Robinson have maintained active performance careers in addition to their work with Ditch.
