Since 1988, our outreach programs have brought Destiny Arts Center's programs to over 50 Bay Area schools and hundreds of community groups. We send trained instructors to your school or community site, who lead Residencies, Workshops, and Professional Development. They teach Destiny's unique violence prevention program that combines dance, theater and/or martial arts technique with skill building in violence prevention. Educators can also purchase either of our in-depth Curricula: The Five Fingers of Violence Prevention or Youth on the Move.

David has worked in the film world since 1985 and is the principal of Studio B Films in Berkeley. He has produced work for HBO, PBS, Discovery and MTV. His film For Better or for Worse won an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary.
