The. onCUE Company is a kinetic storytelling and education collective committed to liberating minds, bodies, and spirits through the power of movement, narrative, and communal dialogue. Founded by movement artist Quilan “Cue” Arnold, onCUE weaves together the liberating philosophies of Jesus, Hip-hop, House, and Afro-diasporic cultures to awaken the apathetic and advocate for the oppressed.
At its core, onCUE believes true liberation is a psycho-physical-social process. Through imagination, dance, storytelling, and dialogue, onCUE programming helps people integrate their personal stories with healing truths, offering a path toward individual and collective transformation.
onCUE’s work unfolds through a trinity of offerings:
1. Searching for a True Move (SFTM): A multi-sensory movement playground that uses freestyle dance and storytelling techniques to align intention, emotion, and embodied truth.
2. onCUE Chronicles (oCC): A kinetic storytelling initiative that crafts spiritually charged, visually immersive narratives centering historically marginalized voices—projects include Lowelyfe, Club KINGDOM, and other film and live stage works.
3. The Good Foot Podcast (TGFP): A digital dialogue space where dance artists explore how creative practice, faith, and cultural identity have led to personal healing, communal elevation, and business building.
From classrooms and studios to screens and street corners, onCUE offers tools and stories that evoke empathy, provoke thought, and inspire embodied liberation. Whether through a dance, a conversation, or a cinematic universe, onCUE calls each participant to awaken their fullest self and help build a more loving, equitable world—one true move at a time.
