LEAD is a paid performance ensemble working creatively across perceptions of cognitive ability and difference. The guiding principle of LEAD is that everybody is good at some things, and not so good at others. We celebrate what we’re good at and challenge each other where we have room to grow. Now in its fourth season, LEAD continues to deepen its existing exploratory practice while also expanding to run a more production-focused stream. LEAD meets once a week for six-week sessions, with at least two sessions per season. LEAD currently employs a roster of twenty-six neurotypical and neurodiverse artists.
