Training Workshops & Performance Ensembles  

Free Street is a cultural arts laboratory that does not simply develop performers and writers, but individuals who practice being the change they want to see in the world. Part of that change is to view creativity as a primary and common language so that the diverse youth with whom we work have the skills to approach any situation with imagination, compassion, and energy--in short, as artists.

Through ensemble-based creative processes that engage professional artists, emerging artists, and youth artists, Free Street develops performances that explore the form, the language, and the essential meaning of theater.

Our mission is to open the potential of youth so that they can be active, creative participants in their own destinies.

"Focus on your breath and the activity. Stillness emerges. Stillness is not nothing. It is an opening.
Your body fills with what is alive in you, your heart is open." - Ron Bieganski
