(re)spire was born in response to a shared outrage over Roe v. Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022. Amplifying the voices of marginalized groups and supporting the betterment of our community will always be at the heart of our company.

Here, we welcome artists of all genders, sexualities, neurodivergencies, races, ethnicities, religious beliefs, age, & socioeconomic status and provide a space to play, create, innovate, and care for our community through performance art. We are a volunteer-based company made up of diverse individuals who see strength and value in our differences.
