Transcendence Theatre Co. Embarks On 3 Month Artistic Expedition 'The Transcendence Artist Project' in Mexico

Transcendence Theatre Company, a group of artists with an extensive list of Broadway, National and International Touring, Regional Theatre, Film and Television credits are embarking on an expedition entitled "The Transcendence Artist Project" March through May, 2009 at The Gertrude Pearlman Theatre in Punta Banda, Mexico.

In 1931, at the height of The Great Depression, The Group Theatre (Clurman, Strasberg, Crawford, Adler, Meisner) embarked on a journey of self-discovery and artistic exploration that would revolutionize the American Theatre. In 2009, as America faces a financial crisis that is closing 16 Broadway shows and numerous regional theatres across the country, The Transcendence Theatre Company will embark on its own exploration to take life and art to new levels.

"The Transcendence Artist Project" is an experiment of great magnitude uniting personal development with artistic development through individual, group, and community integration. The company of artists will join together with a team of holistic health, healing arts, peak performance nutrition, mindset training, sustainability, and creative arts specialists to enhance the personal and collective development.

The artists will focus on the development of collaborative art within the company and with the local community with a major focus on multi-cultural community service projects benefiting the city of Punta Banda. "The Transcendence Artist Project" will be documented and shared world-wide through online blogs and events.

The Transcendence Theatre Company is a nonprofit organization established in 2008 dedicated to developing a new approach to the performing arts. The company is united in a passionate belief that a movement truly integrating health and well-being into the arts and entertainment world will help thousands of artists already suffering from eating, addictive, anxiety, and emotional disorders due to the pressures of the current entertainment industry.

A new holistic approach for the artist will revolutionize arts education, the commercial arts sector, and have an unbelievable impact on the artists' ability to serve our youth, our communities, and our world. The Company's mission is, through their art and lives, to encourage individuals to commit to living their best lives ever.
