Explore The Bubble, a "hypothetical architectural concept with the mission of making live performance a socially equitable experience through radical reimagining" created by Assistant Professor Jason Simms.
 

The Bubble is currently seeking to present performances that amplify:

  • BIPOC artists and the organization that support them
  • Artists with disabilities and the organizations that support them
  • LGBTQ+ artists and LGBTQ+ supporting organizations

The Bubble urges those who identify with these minority groups to contact The Bubble so that your virtual performances can be prioritized.
