Founded in 2025, different birds is a management and booking agency that supports artists by cultivating respectful and sustainable relationships with presenters. While the agency has a particular focus on dance, it also embraces boundary-pushing artists who work across music, theater, circus, and other disciplines. Alongside booking, each artist receives individualized support to help them build a company structure and touring practice with care for long-term growth.
