Herman Cornejo — The State of the Arts is a creative institution committed to building the future infrastructure of ballet and the performing arts — one that is inclusive, sustainable, and globally accessible.
We exist to empower artists, expand access, and bridge physical and digital worlds — ensuring that world-class dance is not limited by geography, wealth, or season, but reaches audiences and communities everywhere.
It develops new artistic models, technologies, and platforms that honor tradition while actively reinventing how dance is experienced, sustained, and shared with the world.
Our mission is simple: to ensure that brilliance does not disappear when the curtain falls —
and that the beauty of this art form belongs to everyone.
