NEWThe place where it happens
Youth build scenes and movement scores that respond to the city’s plazas, bridges, and riverfront walkways—turning everyday routes into performance.
Cultural exchange
What we learn
We learn how a historic city holds living memory—how tradition shapes the present and how youth remix it.
What we share
We share tools for site-work: how to make theatre that listens to streets, steps, rivers, and public squares.
