Through systems, foresight, and design research, this MRP explores what systems and mindsets are influencing performing arts nonprofits today and imagines a bold future where organizational life cycles and endings are reframed as vital and regenerative practices that sustain the people, the practice, and the power of the form itself.

The output is a written report and the description of an Aspirational Future where the value of the arts is redefined, leadership is reimagined, and the sector has embraced impermanence and regenerative organizational practices.
This is accompanied by two artifacts and various calls to collective action.
