Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is founded in the belief that the arts are an essential element of education in a vibrant and informed society. We recognize the power the arts have to create strong communities and to reach out to what is essential in every human heart. Humankind, throughout history, has created an enormous body of dance, music, and theatre that is still relevant.
Our goal is to cultivate the imagination and technical skills of artists who will reinvigorate those works and create new works that grip the heart and thrill the mind. With regard for hard work, we strive for excellence and are willing to risk failure. We believe in and value the contributions and accomplishments of the individual and of the team. We welcome the diversity that sustains our community and empowers our voice through art and artistry, as a means to reflect and understand the ideas and spirit foundational to the human condition. We reach out with our work to celebrate our humanity with each other.
