Always experimenting with the norms of how stories are told, CBT is thrilled to extend our experimental spirit to the structure of our staff. Designed in collaboration with current staff, Board, and outside consultants and based on many months of research into models nationwide, the Collective is a six-person team that is supported by the Board of Directors and shares responsibility for leadership of the company. Season planning and producing will now be the responsibility of a Curation Director, a new position designed to rotate through different artists for a two-season term.

The primary goal of the Collective is to balance positional power across the organization, ensuring that all staff voices are heard when key strategic decisions are being made, and to offer everyday professional development opportunities across traditional department lines. All positions within the Collective Leadership Team are paid the same hourly rate and have equal voting power for key strategic decisions.
