I am not only a better artist and professional, but feel I am a better person because of my Inclusive Stages training. The material was invaluable, but even more so was the compassion and support with which it was taught, allowing everyone to collaborate and thrive in the most productive way. This training made me feel optimistic about the future of our industry!

The Inclusive Stages™ Cohort Certification Program is more than just a training – it’s a movement to create lasting, meaningful change in the arts.

This work is critical for the survival and growth of our industry – this is the work that will help the arts thrive.
Our curriculum doesn’t shy away from the challenging issues that often get tiptoed around. At Inclusive Stages, we believe in strengthening our capacity to have difficult conversations and engage in compassionate feedback that drives real progress. Participants will develop the skills to create environments where diversity, emotional safety, and psychological well-being are foundational.
