Create A Space Now

Create A Space NOW is an interactive social justice platform, creating art to combat bias, racism, and systemic oppression. We believe that dance, music, theater, spoken word, text, and film are powerful tools for communication that should not be for entertainment value only. We use these art forms to inspire change, educate, and activate. Create A Space NOW began due to a need to engage and further the discussions around the silencing of BLACK LIVES and social issues dealing with race relations in America. We believe the message is the medium and convey this in multiple ways. A “collaborative think-tank” and “reimagined production company,” we develop interdisciplinary performance art-based products as educational tools to affect change. Our projects have been presented on stage, on screen, in print, and online. Create A Space NOW centers the intersection of art and activism in our mission, work, and outreach. We provide opportunities for artists of color and intersecting identities to develop their own works for continued change-making in their communities and host community workshops in dance, theatre, public speaking, and filmmaking, educating and empowering participants on how these art forms are effective change-making tools. These workshops promote cultural values, health and wellness, and leadership skills. Create A Space NOW invites individuals to connect, create, and participate in projects that leave accountable artistic professional footprints in our society. Our artists, contributors, and volunteers are diverse in race, gender identity, spirituality, sexuality, and body shape. All standing for social justice. We believe that seeking to end the injustices which Black people and people of color, experience at the hands of systemic racism will benefit all lives.
