Groove Performance Group
Groove is a comedic, high energy, non-traditional percussion and performance group at the University of Michigan with one goal: to rock the masses. We drum on anything and make music out of everything. (Think STOMP and Blue Man Group mixed together!)
Impact Dance
Impact Dance is a dance company open primarily to non-dance majors in the University of Michigan community. The company is relatively small, with only about 20 members each year. The company's members choreograph and perform pieces of a variety of styles including, but not limited to, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, and hip hop in fall and spring shows as well as many other guest performances throughout the year.
M-agination Films

MUSIC Matters
MUSIC Matters is a student-run non-profit organization that aims to use the unifying power of music to drive social impact in our community. Throughout the year, we host concerts featuring a range of local and national talent. Every April we produce SpringFest, one of the largest student-run events on campus. This day-long festival includes student performers, local vendors, food trucks, student organizations, and a range of sponsors, and is capped off with a headlining national act. We also have three social ventures: the Big Thinkers Scholarship, MOvE: the Michigan Overnight Experience, and our CoMMunity Partnership.
MUSKET
Founded in 1908 as the Michigan Union Opera Company, MUSKET was once a small, all-male theatre troupe that specialized in presenting works written by University of Michigan students. Later realizing the irreverent nature of their gender limitations, the organization shifted its focus in 1956 to include students of all genders and changed their name to "Michigan Union Shows, Ko-Eds, Too", or MUSKET for short. With this shift also came a change in the organization's content - instead of producing student written operettas MUSKET began presenting Broadway-style musicals, a tradition that has lasted over 50 years.
Photonix
Photonix is a flow arts group at the University of Michigan. We use glowsticks as our primary medium to create exciting visual art in live shows. We look to amaze audiences with mind-blowing performances around campus!
RhythM Tap Ensemble
RhythM Tap Ensemble was founded at the University of Michigan in the Fall of 2000 with the purpose of promoting tap dance on campus. They are a student-run performance group comprised of passionate and dedicated, advanced tap dancers. They choreograph their own dances and conduct regular rehearsals during the school year. Their efforts can be seen in several large performances each year, as well as several variety shows and charity events.
Rude Mechanicals
Rude Mechanicals is a student-run theatre organization offers students of all majors an opportunity to work on a full-scale production. We promise to offer you a diverse season by producing a contemporary piece and a classic/period/Shakespeare piece.
What the F Magazine
At What the F, we believe that telling stories builds community. It enables us to find common ground. Regardless of gender, class, race, ethnicity, and background, we want to use our pages, both online and in our print magazine, as a safe space for personal expression.
