The work of the Center has been made possible through grants from the Asian Cultural Council, the Ford Foundation, The Pew Charitable Trusts, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Soros Foundation.

 

The UCLA Center for Intercultural Performance (CIP) is dedicated to performing arts research and experimentation that promote better understanding and appreciation across cultures.

Our aim is to stimulate artistic practices that respond to the realities of our global environment.

Situated in one of the country's major research universities, the work of Center staff and affiliated faculty generally focuses on helping future leaders strengthen their ability to work in intercultural and interdisciplinary ways.

An integral part of the UCLA School of Arts and Architecture and the Department of World Arts and Cultures, CIP has become a national and international resource with a special emphasis on international exchange, creative collaboration, research and publications, and film/video documentation.

Throughout the years, CIP has brought together internationally recognized artists, scholars, writers, filmmakers, arts professionals, and educators. Viewed as a catalyst for advanced work in the creative and scholarly fields, CIP has demonstrated its ability to respond to the changing needs of our times.
