Our flagship project from September 2023!

Laro, Lingap, Laya: Workshops to Rewild the Theatre

A choose-your-own adventure workshop festival for performing artists, advocates, and educators who seek to sharpen their artistic tools for a more inclusive, playful, and collaborative arts practice.

Our Mission

We design and facilitate playful experiences through the power of storytelling, games, and research.

Our Projects

We co-develop experiences with different communities, sharing in the joy of creating together through our playtesting process.

We are Sandbox Residents!

Through the Sandbox Residency Program, Areté offers groups of academics, artists, professionals, and students the financial resources and physical space to interact, exchange ideas, and work on projects that marry their interests towards a common goal.

Areté supports collaborations that involve research and incorporate artistic processes and interventions, and also engage communities outside the academic and artistic worlds.
