We meet each other where we are - and these days where we are is pretty ridiculous! There's no time to waste, so let's cut to the chase. As we make art to confront the greatest existential threat that humanity has faced in recorded history, we need to bring honesty, humor, and compassion to all our interactions.

We embrace that conflict is at the heart of creativity, and that we need to get our hands dirty to connect, make discoveries, and make an impact. There's no way to have an authentic conversation about the climate crisis without getting outside our comfort zone. We must prioritize risk in our artistic choices and we aim to provoke visceral reactions in the audience. If someone's not uncomfortable, we're playing it too safe.

When we're in the thick of it, whether it's a challenging rehearsal, a personal life struggle, or an overwhelming sense of despair in the face of the climate crisis, we remember that the only way out is through, and the only . We take a deep breath, hop off the Hope-and-Despair Wheel, and do the work, connect with our communities, and adapt to our circumstances in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

When we make a mess, we clean it up. We take responsibility for the impact that we make. We're conscious of our carbon footprint and do our best to produce carbon-neutral, zero-waste performances that leave spaces better than we found them.
