We the People Representing Our Unifying Diversity

About

We the People Representing Our Unifying Diversity are PROUD to share a safe space for students to be brave and bring their full selves into the artmaking process. In contrast to multiculturalism--emphasizing the separation and ownership of culture--polyculturalism is the belief that culture mutually influences each other, constantly recreating itself. As productions company committed to exploring the interconnectedness of our lives, we approach identity as fluid and borderless. By engaging with canonized material, original work, and devised theatre through a specific lens of social and psychological marginalization, we can imagine our communities out of oppression as equal participants of rigid race-based and gender-based hegemonies.
