The art of art-making goes through many unique processes: prompts, inspiration, feedback, collaboration, frustration, improvisation. One constant in this process is play – the notions of experimentation, risk, and curiosity.

State of Play invites you to join the creative process through a curated artistic exchange, presenting premieres and works in progress from artists across the Bay Area and the US paired with engagement activities designed to bring audience and artist closer together.

QUAKE is a new live performance that destigmatizes the topic of mental health and promotes community resilience within the Asian American community. Detour Dance is a multidisciplinary project that fuses new media, experimental performance, and alternative healing practices.

All members of the public are invited to participate in curated discussions, games, debates, and panels with the artists.
