A place for artists and audiences committed to reimagining the theater and the world beyond

Located in South Paris, Maine, we offer workshops and residencies for physical theater artists to hone their craft and develop their body of work.

We also serve our local community through our show series and community-based initiatives.

Our Workshops

We offer in-person and online workshops in physical theater, clowning, mime, devising, and related art forms. Helmed by leading instructors in the field, our workshops give students opportunities to learn new skills and build relationships with a cohort of courageous collaborators.
