NTC Core Values
Connection: a vibrant and celebratory convening of artists and academics
Inspiration: from our colleagues in the room and the honorees onstage, sparks to bring back to our work and to our home communities
Advocacy: collective knowledge and expertise to bolster our art form and make change in our field
Transformation: a creative force for reframing how we teach, make work, and progress our conference
Inclusion: a community that fosters belonging and stands against oppression in all its forms
