MARTA MARTA PRODUCTIONS (MMP) is the creative force behind a wide range of innovative projects ranging from the creation and production of dance, film, music, photography, and art books, to performances, exhibits, festivals and more. MMP is also dedicated to providing education and outreach in the form of movement classes, mentorship, collaborations, and the offering of training scholarships to low-income students.
An expression of artistic director Martha Carter’s vision of movement as a necessity of life, MMP initially launched in Montréal in 1990 as Marta Marta Danse where the company pushed the envelope of dance and interdisciplinary performance for over a decade.
After moving west, MMP became one of Vancouver’s most influential cutting-edge new works companies. From 2004 to 2016, Marta Marta Productions was recognized as a unique voice in the Canadian cultural landscape, creating ground-breaking live and filmed multi-media and site-specific performances for the Vancouver public and beyond.
Since 2016, MMP has been working on three ongoing projects: the digitizing and archiving of past Marta Marta works which has resulted in several short films with many more on the way, the creation and production of two new music videos with original music in collaboration with the House of Pride, and the creation and production of two art photography books by House of Pride member Stephen LaReign Hues.

Our mission is to support a broad spectrum of health and wellness related projects – with a special focus on back care and scoliosis. The Giving Back Kindness Foundation also assists other charitable organizations with their own initiatives that align with this vision.
