Cannonball

We invite vibrant discoveries, new ideas, and big risks. “Ya never know what you’re gonna see!”

We make room for the latecomers and leave space for spontaneity. “I have the energy to bring my authentic self, and to encourage others to bring their authentic selves.”

We co-create community among artists by investigating and championing new models of performing, producing, and presenting. “Just like the Large Hadron Collider—we smash stuff together to see what happens!”

We make space for audiences and artists to savor and discuss all the different flavors of the performances. We encourage criticality that creates recipes for increasing the quality of artistic conversation. “Mmmmmmm.”

We say “Yes!” as much as we can. We believe “More is better” when it’s within our capacity to say “yes.” We never say “no” to outsiders just to make those on the inside feel like what they have is more exclusive. We choose to give more people modest opportunities rather than give fewer people bigger opportunities. “Pack it in!”
