Our Vision

Our vision is to center liberation in the arts, using knowledge as a tool and freedom as the goal.

Youth Power

We honor young people as experts of their own experience and trust them to lead with courage, curiosity, and care.

Community

We grow together with honesty, compassion, and integrity — celebrating individuality while building something shared.

Imagination & Play

We create space for joy, wonder, and bold ideas — because imagination is where new worlds begin.

Nature as Teacher

We learn from the rhythms of the natural world, honoring its balance, wisdom, and power to renew.

Liberation & Possibility

We challenge injustice through creativity, truth, and purpose — building the world we imagine, one performance at a time.

Liberation Now

We live our values in the present, practicing freedom through our choices, actions, and community every day.

Our Pedagogy

We treat knowledge as liberation and joy as resistance, using the arts to cultivate voice, agency, and collective action.
