Business Overview

Working Classroom is an award-winning arts and education program promoting the creative, academic, and leadership potential of talented young artists from historically ignored communities. Mission Working Classroom is a multi-ethnic, inter-generational community of student & professional artists, writers, actors and directors with a conscious commitment to supporting new and diverse voices and visions in the arts. The underrepresentation and caricature of historically ignored communities hampers our understanding of who we are as a nation, how we interpret our past and contemplate our future. We contribute to a more nuanced understanding of American identity by training aspiring artists and actors from historically ignored communities and creating art and theater by, for and about these communities. Core Values We believe the arts both mirror who we are as a nation and help us interpret where we are headed and what we want to become. As long as some communities are invisible or underrepresented, the reflection is distorted and the conversation incomplete. Working Classroom prepares students to contribute to a more nuanced definition of our collective identity. To this end . . . We recruit the majority of our students, board, staff and instructors from historically ignored communities; We nurture students' ability to work in their native languages; We utilize formal and informal education to prepare students for professional success; We promote human rights and peace through the arts, seek and nurture international artistic collaboration and do not accept contributions from weapons manufacturers. Working Classroom es una comunidad multi-�tnica y diversa de estudiantes y artistas, actores y escritores profesionales con un compromiso de apoyar voces nuevas y diversas en el campo art�stico. La poca representaci�n y la burla de comunidades que han sido ignoradas hist�ricamente nos obstaculiza entender quienes somos como pais, la manera en la que interpretamos nuestro pasado y contemplamos nuestro futuro. Nosotros contribuimos a un mejor entendimiento de la identidad americana al ofrecer entrenamiento a los aspirantes a artistas y actores de comunidades que han sido ignoradas en el pasado, creando arte y teatro para estas comunidades y sobre estas comunidades.
