Los Angeles Performance Practice is thrilled to be a recipient of a 2026 Infinite Expansion Grant from The Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts. The project we will be funding is Requiem: por las almas que nacen de la luna: a large-scale, immersive performance installation led by artist San Cha, with rafa esparza and Darian Donovan Thomas.
In partnership with the California Arts Council (CAC), Los Angeles Performance Practice is proud to serve as the Administering Organization for the Individual Artist Fellowships in Los Angeles County for the 2025–2027 cycle.
