Strengthening Youth Leadership

Transforms Communities
 

The Performance Project brings people together to create theater and visual art through multi-generational collaborations. Our members participate in artistic training, inter-generational mentoring and leadership development. We claim a public voice, engage audiences in dialogue about oppression and liberation, and celebrate our humanity and connection through the arts.

  • Art that engages people in dialog about social justice and culture
  • Art that expresses and celebrates our humanity and our inter-connectedness
  • Being a community of many languages
  • Intergenerational and Intercultural alliances
  • Life-long caring relationships over multiple generations
  • Access to quality educational and professional opportunities for our members
  • Multi-faceted educational experiences, i.e. Contact with professional artists, academic and international communities, community and cultural activists
  • Youth leadership, critical and independent thinking, and community engagement
  • Coalition and movement building
  • Achieving personal and collective excellence
  • Work that aims to dismantle all forms of oppression
