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.

To reach Dragon Jane, contact Karen Van Fossan, director, by email or phone 701-258-6667.
