What is the Philosophy of "Dragon Jane"?

Our Purpose

The mission of Dragon Jane Performance Art Company is to create a space that honors the voice and vision of each person. Our commitment: "Everybody is a star, which means you're a star and so is everybody else." We hope to foster creativity and inspiration in young and old alike by allowing everyone a safe and loving environment in which to express themselves without judgment. Using a collaborative model, we believe that good theater is rooted in the creativity of each performer. We create characters, choreography, music, and art that reflect both individual and collective excellence.
