Ko Festival of Performance

  • M

    MA

Institution/Business Type: Cultural Series Organization

For 31 years, this summer this festival of innovative theatre in Amherst, MA was curated on a theme such as "Stories of Illness & Healing”," "Courage," or “"The Immigrant's Journey.” Performances were accompanied by facilitated discussions that contextualized the ideas presented in the work in an effort to engender inter-audience/artist exchange & opportunity for civic dialogue. We also offered workshops for adults, internships, and rehearsal residencies where individual artists or ensembles could develop new work, Currently, we are providing administrative residencies where we help artists and ensembles strengthen their organization infrastructure. Additionally, we provide design, technical, touring, production/stage management services and a wide range of consulting and mentorship.
