Community Performance International’s mission is to grow strong communities, through collecting its most valuable assets -- its stories -- and examining those stories through the process of values training and community performance.  The outcome of this process is a newly discovered identity which creates community attachment – an essential component of economic and community development.  We are committed to empowering individuals, cultivating communicative agency, building relationships across diverse citizenry and producing high performance groups.  Values and Stories are sought through reverent listening and to promote connection, respect, acceptance, inclusion and collaboration while honoring history and tradition.

Staging Change Institute on Youtube

In November 2011, CPI worked with the International Storytelling Center and the Town of Jonesborough to host the first ever STAGING CHANGE INSTITUTE.  Pioneers from across the country gathered to examine the story-to-change bridge, to share their own story, and to explore the applications to their own work in art, community development, social change and committed action.

NEW: Check out the video of our project in Sanford, Florida, Celery Soup's TOUCH AND GO.
