Who we are
We seek to build an understanding of Native American methodologies in performance that in turn will function as a cultural liaison to non-Native theatre artists in the city. The more successful we are in engaging these populations, the closer to we hope to be to creating truly cross-cultural lines of communication.
Our Mission
Safe Harbors focuses on the development and production of Native Theater and Performing Arts in New York City within the broader American theater we combat stereotypes and support vibrant Native communities. We develop ongoing dialogue with policymakers about how cultural and socioeconomic issues can be approached through Theatrical performances, Performing Arts, Native Cultural Consultancy, panel discussions, and Cultural Events.
