Postmarginal works with artists that create in genres including circus, theatre, performance, music, and dance. These artists work in community and/or industry settings.

It could refer to the margins of the rehearsal hall, which are traditionally defined by North American/European norms. It can also refer to marginalized communities, including any group of persons who traditionally face prejudice or racism (for example, Indigenous Black, Persons of Colour, LGBTQ2S+, Neurodiverse/Mad, Disabilities).

Our activities intersect with the work of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Decolonization. We envision an aspirational world in which we can imagine what relationships could be like if the EDID process were nearing completion.

We don’t believe there will be an absolute “post” marginalization, however, we experiment in an aspirational model of that possible world.

Postmarginality is an approach that prioritizes deep sharing of cultural practices within ethical relationships.

Inclusion asks, “Who’s not in the room?” Postmarginality asks: “Now we’re in the room, what can we do together?”

We don’t believe in one set of values that can work for everyone, but we explore how people’s lived experiences can inspire a sense of collaboration and artistic innovation while responding to historical, cultural, and social inequities.

Take a look at our beliefs and values. Do they resonate with what you are doing or what you hope to be doing? If so, we’d love to hear from you. Please write us at [email protected].
