PRACTITIONER PARTNERSHIPS

Intercultural Roots is curating partnerships with somatic and artistic practitioners and groups based on principles of integrity, equality and respect for mutual benefit. By opening our horizontal infrastructure, class / course, performance and video production is more cost-effectively delivered, allowing practitioners to focus on what they do best and co-creating opportunities for income.
