For over three decades, BAX has honored the power of performing arts to connect and transform individuals and communities. As an arts incubator, we support artists of all ages and stages of development—from young children to award-winning professionals—through communities of learning. Our artist residencies, affordable rehearsal studios, practice lab, and youth education programs annually invite over 10,000 students, parents, families, artists, and audiences to engage in shared creative journeys. We focus on embodied practices such as dance, movement, theater, and multidisciplinary performance, prioritizing experimentation, process, collaboration, and mentorship. 

We envision a future rooted in relationships and reciprocity, where individuals and communities are transformed through the power of the arts, and where justice flourishes and people thrive.

Our work is shaped by a commitment to fostering a brave space, one where everyone is invited to be themselves, to learn, and to engage in open, meaningful dialogue. We approach our artistic and educational practices—and one another—with supportive curiosity, collective care, and a commitment to lasting connection. We honor creative process over product, and embrace collaboration that fosters belonging and equity.
