Our Commitment to Equity
Micaya Presents is passionately committed to producing programming that reflects a diverse cultural spectrum and facilitates harmonious collaboration across all races, communities, gender identities, and sexual orientations. It is our goal to promote an organizational atmosphere and artistic repertoire built upon the values of inclusion, cooperation, social justice, and multicultural appreciation.
Micaya Presents dedicates itself to the dynamic education and evolution of hip hop dance culture on a global scale. Inherent in this mission is our fervent stance against all forms of intolerance and discrimination. We resist racism, ableism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, religious discrimination, and all social structures that propagate prejudice and oppression. We believe in the power of interconnectedness, and we are wholeheartedly devoted to building bridges between culture gaps that have fractured communities across our nation and our world. To this end, we uphold operational and artistic standards that honor truth, equality, and freedom of expression.
Micaya Presents considers it our important responsibility to provide a platform that enables marginalized communities to share their stories, voice their struggles, and serve as powerful agents for change. We utilize the unifying force of hip hop dance theater to foster worldwide awareness of deeply rooted inequities, stimulate productive conversations around these injustices, and motivate positive solutions. This process calls upon our staff, commissioned artists, donors, and fan base to honestly face the widespread realities of past and present indignities, and to formulate strategies that encourage peaceful progress.
Micaya Presents pledges to operate according to our belief that every community counts. We cultivate an environment that reveres diversity, liberty, and respectful synergy among staff, artists, supporters, and the world at large. We believe that hip hop dance theater has been, and always will be, an extraordinary vehicle for authentic expression, social reparation, and global transformation.
