The Performance Project envisions a world in which all people strive for personal and social liberation, where all individuals and cultures are honored, embrace interconnectedness, and we all are free to achieve our full potential.
We work to manifest this by creating a community of many ages and ancestries, bringing people together for artistic training and collaboration, intergenerational mentoring, leadership development, social justice education, and cultural activism.
