● About
Who even are we?
We believe that in order to create unique, authentic art, we need to cut out the things that are holding us back. Our classes and workshops are progressive and a little unorthodox. We don’t want to do things the way they’ve always been done. That’s boring. We want to do the fun stuff, the new stuff, the rebelious stuff.
● How do we do what we do?
Rules are for suckers
●
Rebellious Adventure
We chase big swings, happy accidents, and the weird ideas that scare us a little. Nothing is holy, curiosity leads, fear gets benched, and the best stories come from risk.
●
Unorthodox Methods
We rehearse like explorers: new tools, odd prompts, contemporary forms. We embrace the cringe, flip it into power, and let students test-drive choices in public, not just on paper.
●
Empathy is the new Punk
Brave stages need brave hearts. We train listening, collaboration, and care, so students can hold the room, have each other’s backs, and make daring work.
●
An educational framework as unique as we are
Universal Design for Learning is baked in: multiple ways to engage, learn, and perform, on mic, on feet, on paper, or behind the board, so every student can take risks, be seen, and own their voice.
