ABOUT
Postmarginal is a collective movement in the performing arts that seeks to research, develop, and talk about creative works that are inspired by a plurality of relationships.
We are a nomadic space for research and creation in the performing arts. We are a living experiment about the future of representation and equity in the performing arts. We are an evolving approach to creation centered on relationships.
We Believe that
The purpose of performing arts is to cultivate relationships.
We live in a world of complexity and continual change.
Representation and equity are a social necessity and a creative possibility.
Every person and thing is by necessity in relation.
Every person has qualities that are indispensable to the totality of all things.
Nature and spirit help us navigate the needs of the world.
We do not possess this project, we take care of it.
Reciprocity is at the heart of healthy relationships
