Overview
Cal Performances is the largest performing arts presenter on the West Coast, and is considered one of the finest university presenters in the country. Its annual season of 100 performances of world music and dance, theater, opera, jazz, and classical music, in the 2,000-seat Zellerbach Hall, attracts an audience of 130,000. Cal Performances’ education and community outreach programs have deepened to focus on building artistic literacy. Cal Performances is transitioning from "presenter" to "producer" of artistic content, and has expanded access to its programs through partnerships with the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, and its own management of the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. With renewed support, Cal Performances will continue to be an iconic cultural institution, bringing high-quality performing arts to new audiences in the Bay Area.

Grants to this Grantee
for the East Africa Social Science Translation Collaborative
The East Africa Social Science Translation Collaborative (EASST) enables East African researchers to conduct impact evaluations of social and economic programs, generating evidence for public policymaking. Researchers receive fellowships and grants at the University of California at Berkeley to carry out field studies, build capacity in African universities, and engage with governments. (Strategy: Evidence-Informed Policymaking)
for the Labor Center’s Power and Strategy project
The Labor Center, housed at the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment at University of California, Berkeley, will launch a comprehensive project to better understand the relationship between power and strategy in the social formations in which labor markets are embedded. The project will produce a scholarly monograph, a manual, and both academic and worker-oriented training curricula to teach power structure research skills to a variety of actors, including practitioners in the field.
for planning support of a new equity-centered research, policy, and practice university center
The mission of the Berkeley School of Education at UC Berkeley is to advance excellence and equity at all levels of public education. The school encompasses diverse students and faculty who are committed to equity and excellence in education as researchers, professional educators, leaders, and innovators.
