Through the medium of theatre, art, and performance, we create relationships with communities and cultures internationally.

EXPLORATION AND EXCHANGE YWTC is a platform for cultural conversations and exchange. Committed to connecting with artists around the world, each production is inspired by a specific culture. As the discussion and research begins, our team starts to build a foundation with the artists in this community and a story is chosen. This story is explored through workshops and laboratories, where artists can begin to experiment with their talents and ideas. Laboratory exploration is the infrastructure in which we build our productions. The Dream Project ABOUT THE PROJECT The Dream Project is a collaboration between North American artists from Mexico, United States and Canada.
