All works aim to create a space for communal reflection and celebration through live performance. But ASID aim to more directly and intimately include the audience in that process of reflecting and celebrating. Thus, ASID build more profound relationships with our audience by creating high quality works that fill needed purposes in innovative, unique and (they always must be) entertaining ways. ASID works exist on a spectrum, from highly explosive to extremely intimate and thoughtful experiences. Some pieces have broader commercial appeal while others speak to a more distinct audience. ASID shows are inclusive experiences where audiences actively contribute to th e live action as it develops.
