The Forum Collective produces work exploring political moments that represent universal human experiences. While analyzing work through this lens, we create projects blending live performance, gallery curation, and journalistic reporting. The end result is a multi-layered exploration of sociopolitics.

Focused on shared governance, The Forum’s Artistic Board is composed of multidisciplinary producers and curators. Its members analyze a central piece of work in relation to a political, social, or historic trend while deciding on actions as a group. This structure allows us to:

Redefine the definition of journalism theatre while responding directly to current social and political events.

Detach from traditional hierarchies that have previously excluded marginalized communities.

Through our New Works Program, we highlight emerging artists through unique staged readings, focus groups, and workshops to deepen conversations around development. Despite the medium, each project in this program is provided a dramaturg or mediator to facilitate discussions around the work.
