what's happening at this, stage
"We at The Human Stage invite the fullness of the human experience, without prejudice or pretense - where theater is a living experiment with the power to transform ourselves and the world around us. Theater(re), at its core, is ceremonial and an opportunity for cultures to awaken and recognize their shared humanity. At this stage, the ancient myths are reimagined, as we create the new myths of our time."
Ness Hopkins, Founding Artistic Director
The Human Stage
@ The A
The A is an intimate "Creatorspace" a term I coined years ago to reflect a dream I've had for decades - to build a space like a "Makerspace" for the creative arts. The A is in Ashland, Oregon, located in the heart of the Historic Railroad District. Over the past two years, The A, has hosted a curated series of contemporary art exhibitions, performances, and interdisciplinary events, serving as a gathering place for emerging and established artists as well as leading healing arts practitioners, all rooted in exploration and lived experience.
The A, is a space that functions as a micro, foundational space for the further development of The Human Stage,
a 501C3 status Performing Arts Organization.
We support experimental work, new and classic voices, and evolving forms, while cultivating community and creative rigor.
