𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 — we reject concepts of extraction and exploitation, which impacts how we interact with performers, artists, and with our audience.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 — Our wounds are often relational, and healing happens in relationship. We strive for a safe space without shame, guilt, obligation, or judgement. A place for artistic self-expression, witnessing, and appreciation.

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 — we understand identities are not monolithic; we all experience trauma under our capitalist, colonialist, and neoliberal structures; and our collective liberation is tied to Indigenous sovereignty.
