about inverse

INVERSE strives to foster local dialogue about performance art on an international scale and build a community of performance artists and supporters. Organized by Cynthia Post Hunt of Fayetteville, Arkansas and Emma Saperstein of San Luis Obispo, California, INVERSE presents new work and engages local, national, and international communities. INVERSE facilitates various forms of engagement: for the space, for the artist and for the viewer. INVERSE is an artist-run, community-supported inclusive platform and works with artists from around the world. INVERSE provides opportunities for performance work to be cultivated outside of city centers and is committed to supporting new and emerging artists.
