Obremski/Works is an AAPI equity-minded non-profit organization with an internationally presented creation-based dance COMPANY, FELLOWSHIPS, and EDUCATION department which all enhance the careers and lives of Asian and AAPI representing individuals. We challenge established norms of AAPI individuals and shape what AAPI artistry means.

The company was founded in 2018 by Director and Choreographer Jesse Obremski in collaboration with Associate Founders Terrence D.M. Diable, Michael Greenberg, and Richard Sayama through their premiere film, No Words, which was presented at Lincoln Center through HBO and the Dance Films Association. With an incredibly passionate group of artists from across the United States, Japan, and Taiwan, Obremski/Works brings thought-provoking performances, empathetic approaches, and life-affirming initiatives to our greater community.  

In 2022, the company paved new pathways with the release of its inaugural AAPI Support Fellowship, The VISION Fellowship, for collegiate-attending AAPI artists, and in 2023, The VOYAGER Fellowship, for international AAPI artists in the United States. Obremski/Works further developed into an organization by becoming a 501(c)3 incorporated entity in late 2023.

The organization has been presented globally on three continents and at multiple venues, including Lincoln Center and The Kennedy Center, and continues to expand its repertory and social activism to this day.
