Building confidence, changing lives.

the inclusion theatre project

a one-of-a-kind performing arts program for children and adults with developmental and intellectual Disabilities


The Inclusion Theatre Project (ITP) was established in 2014 by Executive Director Maria Banda-Rodaz and offers a specially designed and adaptive curriculum to students ages 5 through adult. Services include group and private classes (voice, dance, acting) and musical productions, on site and at partner locations in Miami-Dade County. While its primary purpose is to provide such students with high-quality training in the performing arts, the benefits that ITP offers also stretch far beyond the stage. This program serves as an important gateway to autonomy and independence, and ultimately to living a more productive and fulfilling life. So often, participants like those served by ITP are negatively defined by their differences and disadvantages; but when they are instead embraced for their unique strengths and abilities, the sky truly is the limit as far as what is possible. 

RAD BALLET CLASS


With a curriculum created by the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), a world leader in dance education and training, this class strengthens creativity, musicality and technique through ballet for students of all abilities.

 “ITP has been a blessing for my daughter. She’s becoming more social every day, and each ITP production helps her become more confident. Her self esteem has been healing and she’s becoming a much better person, more capable of doing things, more independent. ”
