VISION

Our vision is a community where artists can:

Safely express personal themes in the performing arts

Contribute to discourse for betterment of working conditions in the arts, for people with and without mental health support needs

Share a space of exploration, reflection and artistry

​

MISSION

Our mission is to create performance works that investigate both the experiential and the theoretical aspects of mental health. This includes exploration of diagnosis, recovery and public understanding, as visioned by public discourses of medical theory, historical thought, pop psychology and the global self help movement.

We aim to bring these discussions to the fore through performance, and to thereby provide touch points for connection with audiences.

Integral to this mission is identifying safe and supported practices for artists, that provide flexibility and accessibility when making work addressing these themes

​

VALUES

We value artistry, experimentation, openness, accessibility, support, and connection

​

PURPOSE

To make cross-art form work addressing themes of mental health

To challenge how themes of mental health are expressed and translated through art and performance

To discover what this expression can provide for both artists and audiences

To open dialogue around issues relating to artists and mental health – how our mental health affects our art, and how our art and art-making processes affect our mental health
