Outreach Projects

Buoyant Performing Arts is a non-profit organization. All the funds that we receive, including class fees from students of the school, go foremost to funding our outreach programme and towards running the organization and furthering our mission.

The company engages in innovative community outreach initiatives, and offers a variety of workshops, opportunities, social programs and intimate performance experiences and connections.

Community involvement and outreach programs are at the heart of the organisation.
