Davis Shakespeare Festival

pARTners in Conversation is a unique event that brings together a variety of artistic presentations from Davis, intertwined with in-depth discussions alongside the Davis community.

We welcome you to join us and listen in as artists, who have been paired together prior to the event, share their creative works—ranging from music to movement and more— around common themes. After each paired presentation, the artists will engage in a live conversation on stage, discussing themes of belonging in Davis, the role of artistic expression in social justice, and how their meditation on the theme shaped their work.

Presented by Davis Shakespeare Festival, in partnership with City of Davis Arts and Cultural Affairs, Hate Free Together, and our fellow theatre company grantees (Bike City Theatre & Davis Repertory Theatre).

This activity is funded in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency, as part of the California Creative Corps pilot program, a statewide initiative designed to increase social justice and community engagement.
