An Archive.
Mission
To select, curate and archive work from multidisciplinary theater artists of color who are responding to our current moment in history, and to build relationships between artists of color and producers of live theater in their city, state and/or region.
Phase 1 Call for entries and presentation of selected works in a virtual festival.
Funds raised in connection with the virtual festival will be divided equally among the presenting artists.
Phase 2 Works produced for live audiences, in association with Partner Theaters across the country (as social safety guidelines allow)
Phase 3 The Breath Project is utilized as a tool for activism and education, as an ongoing and living archive of this moment in history.
