[company_age]9.0[/company_age][employees]11-50 employees[/employees][funding]non_equity_assistance[/funding][description]Grey Box Collective is a trauma-informed arts organization that creates original, interdisciplinary, experimental, post-dramatic performances about social and emotional wellbeing. They are celebrating their seventh season and are supported by the City of Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture, Arizona Commission on the Arts, City of Tempe -Community Arts Grant, and Mesa Arts Center's Arts at the Center Foundation.

Grey Box Collective is committed to holding compassionate spaces for themselves and others. They embody multiple truths, center taking care of themselves, get uncomfortable, and ensure sustainable practices are embedded in all that they do. They believe this work leads to a just society. 

Through their actions, reflections, and art-making, they aim to challenge and re-shape the status quo in their organization, in their bodies, and our communities. 

Their work is interdisciplinary, experimental, and post-dramatic. They work primarily at the intersection of performing arts, visual arts, educational psychology, somatics, and feminist theory. They aim to explore brand new forms of expression and make choices to rebel against the “norms”. Their work prioritizes investigating broad ideas (ex. hate, othering, shame, mental health and sexual violence) and typically steps away from traditional plot lines or characters. 

Their performances are developed through a trauma informed creative practices method to embody and embed a lens of compassion and curiosity into spaces of creativity and learning. This allows for brave and supportive environments where multiple internalized/individual truths and social/systemic truths can be explored. 

Additionally, they seek to contribute to a sustainable arts community through organizational models that promote inclusivity, body positivity, shared power structures, care, and compassion in themselves and others. 

Grey Box Collective is a unique organization that is committed to creating art that is both challenging and compassionate. They are a valuable resource for the community and are making a positive impact on the world.[/description][ps]Original, interdisciplinary, experimental, post-dramatic performances about social and emotional wellbeing[/ps]
