SaltWater Road Performance Institute is an Afro-Diasporic woman–founded artist run performance company, artist residency, and creative humanities institute rooted in the American South. Through dance, devised performance, and site-responsive research, we create space for artists to gather, reflect, and imagine new cultural futures together within community spaces.
Your support sustains a growing home for contemporary Southernist performance that centers embodied knowledge, public humanities, and collaborative artistic research.
Every contribution helps us produce original work, support artists, and expand access to public performance in Montgomery and beyond.
