This is a rare moment of intense shared experience across our country. Given the antiracism uprising in the US and the global pandemic, The Public Works National Cohort is called to reimagine how to be of service to our communities. And at this time...
• We see power in connecting our communities, which are far from one another but all facing similar uncertainty, heartbreak, and possibility.
• We know we must continue creating imaginative spaces for collective artmaking.
• We believe there is strength and joy to be found in envisioning the future together.
• Therefore, the Public Works National cohort is inviting all our communities to share with each other commitments to our collective future in an expansive, artistic collaboration.
Public Works Virginia is a major initiative of Virginia Stage Company that seeks to engage the people of Hampton Roads by making them creators of theater rather than spectators. Public Works was founded by the Public Theater in New York, and Public Works Virginia joins its affiliate network, which now spans theaters across the United States as well as the National Theatre in London. Working with community partner organizations across Virginia, we invite community members to attend in-person and virtual classes, attend productions, and join in the creation of ambitious works of participatory theatre.
