Overview
Mission
Through multi-hyphenate collaboration (dance, tech/digital interactive media, and music), KAMBARA + works with dancers, performers, and creatives to research and play.
What it reported doing in 2025
YES!, an interactive performance narrated by Black Benatar (aka Mx Beatrice Thomas) and visualized by and with their consent angels. Black Benatar hosts our viewers through a theatrical dance journey where audiences engage as active co-conspirators towards togetherness. YES! numbers include dance, drag, interactive games, and reflections. Audiences articulate and analyze the scenes to define consent - when a scenario needs consent, discernment, the choice we make and communicate, and finally - action without attachment. Show October 5th, 2025 at C.A.S.T. Theater San Francisco.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
