Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Transforma is a New York based not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) organization with a mission to create interactive theatrical experiences at the convergence of consciousness, science and ritual. We tackle how scientific ideas and metaphysical knowledge about consciousness overlap and explore it in the arena of interactive theatre. We like to dive deep in the space where science, human experience and social issues converge enveloping the audience in an immersive, experiential, interactive experiment, which challenges status quo and opens up new perspectives. Our goal is to pioneer a new form of theatrical expression and develop a close community of artists and scientists instilled with the freedom of thinking and creating in alternative ways.
