Gateway Performance Productions

Gateway Performance Productions exists to produce work that transcends cultural and societal differences in content and/or form through the cultivation of a wide variety of public platforms - local to international and traditional to non- traditional. Projects are created for live performances, video, film and radio and include related visual art, literary and photographic elements. The emphasis is on creating new work, exploring new and emerging art forms as well utilizing relevant existing forms. Gateway artists have performed and taught throughout the United States and in thirteen other countries at festivals, theatres, universities, colleges, conferences, arts centers, museums, art galleries, nature centers, libraries and schools. Highlights include performances with the Cleveland Orchestra, the Akron Symphony, at the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the High Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian, for General Motors, Delta Airlines, the First National Conference on Masks of the Theatre and the Aero International Mask Festival in Denmark.
