About

The Great Perhaps Performance Collective (TGP) is a group of contemporary performance artists that have an urge to share their skills with each other. They seek to explore and experiment with cross pollination of work. TGP does this by teaching each other and exploring the liminal world between disciplines.

 

"I go to seek the Great Perhaps." the alleged last words of the writer, Francois Rabelais. We stole them from the John Green Young Adult novel, "Looking for Alaska."In which, the main character goes to a boarding school to seek his "Great Perhaps." 

This group is a support for the members to venture into the unknown, the maybes, the daring, the dangerous, the questionable, the doomed, and the saved, it is a support of the Great Perhaps'.

 

The artists range in skills from dance, theatre, circus, visual arts, costuming, directing, and the lands in between and beyond. The group is based in Boulder, Colorado, but there are members in St. Louis, Kansas City, the east coast, and Iceland.
