What is HPI?

HEADLONG PERFORMANCE INSTITUTE (HPI) is an intensive Philadelphia semester in hybrid performance founded and taught by working artists, including the artistic directors of Headlong Dance Theater. HPI students train, create, perform, and see work (including a full schedule of performances in the Live Arts/Philly Fringe Festival) in the heart of Philadelphia's vibrant and internationally-known performance scene. HPI students benefit from professional mentoring through our "Life of the Artist" series, and also earn a full semester of 300-level undergraduate credit through Bryn Mawr College.
