Mission & History
Inspired by the universal human experiences found in myths and fairy tales, Collective Unconscious Performance re-imagines and re-tells stories that have stayed with us for centuries. Collective Unconscious’ mission is to create original plays that examine the complexities and contradictions found within these age-old stories. Collective Unconscious strives to transform narratives in order to give voice to the voiceless, to spotlight stories that are not often presented onstage, and to foster ongoing community dialogue. 

Our core artistic values include:

• pursuing interdisciplinary artistic collaborations
• promoting non-hierarchical integration of text, design, movement, and music
• experimenting during the process of creation, juxtaposing multiple genres and performance styles
• nurturing a process-based work environment
• creating a spirit of inclusion for all participating artists and viewers
