we make

new work

 

In Tandem Arts advances the performing arts by generating new narratives for a new era of performance. Drawing on storytelling  we foster collaboration through workshops & experimentation. We create interactive spaces, participatory events, & interdisciplinary works. We do this by working with & within communities, schools, & partnering organizations.

what we OFFER

programs & workshops

With a hands-on approach, ITA uses storytelling & the performing arts to co-create with & within community. We do not create art that sets us apart ─ we do not create art where the most talented shine. We create art that galvanizes collective vision. Put simply … we make art that build connections! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive of learners of all ages & newcomers to the arts. 

Productions & Events

Prioritizing participatory events, ITA facilitates the creation of original works. We do not gather in traditional performing arts models of crowds and spectacle. We gather to see each other. Bolstering community with powerful combinations of storytelling, music, performing and visual arts, our teaching artists are problem-solvers that work with available resources to realize meaningful productions.

Community-Based Projects

In this new reality, where technology mediates and separates our social lives more than ever, ITA creates supported spaces for collective imagining. These spaces are in schools, parks, neighborhoods, and public institutions ─ shared spaces to serve as creative common grounds. We invite communities to use our services to enhance existing curriculum, programming, festivals, or events.
