With joyful experimentation, we use early modern drama as a vehicle
to create process-based theatre.
-
We tell unflinchingly honest, fearlessly playful stories.
-
We promote diversity of story and storyteller; we reject the idea that any one story, even a classic, can represent everyone.
-
We rely on our individual stories and bodies to elevate our collaboration.
-
We encourage our audiences to empathize with and be challenged by our work, from the absurd to the serious.
-
We strive for unapologetic transparency: we want to see and be seen.
-
We create connection and visible, legible craftsmanship by combining scholarship, discipline, and empathy.
-
We work towards radical inclusion by celebrating individuality and encouraging our audiences to come as they are.
