education, and are deeply interrelated. <strong><span style="font-family:inherit">Empowerment:</span></strong> Together
we create original works of theatre, and our participants contribute to the
spoken words, the movement, and the production elements. This layered approach
engages participants dynamically, resulting in pride and ownership of the final
product. <strong><span style="font-family:inherit">Equity:</span></strong> We strive to bridge the gap between the
heard and the unheard by centering rarely shared stories with a wider audience.
Our work brings awareness to issues such as racial and economic justice,
nurturing relationships that cross the invisible boundaries of race and class.
We believe representation matters, and we are committed to engaging Teaching
Artists who are representative of the communities with whom we
collaborate. <strong><span style="font-family:inherit">Excellence:</span></strong> We encourage the development of the
whole artist, nurturing an artist’s personal, interpersonal, and artistic
growth. This environment of self-mastery calls participants to own their
greatness with pride, be accountable to their peers, and be engaged, curious,
and connected to their community. <strong><span style="font-family:inherit">Enthusiasm:</span></strong> We approach the
artistic process with openness, rigor, intention, and joy! Our programs
cultivate an enthusiastic learning environment that supports creative
expression while nurturing a high degree of discipline and focus. We encourage
our participants’ creativity, and we also challenge them to explore as many
levels of their creative potential as possible.</span></p></div>
