Kelly Pfleider’s interest in interactive theater started in 2005 which prompted her to pursue the subject passionately. She received her Master’s Degree at USC in Applied Theater Arts so that she could incorporate Pure Praxis. The company aims to create a safer world and an enhanced understanding of sexual violence.

Our program strategy is rooted in the process of praxis; the fusion of theory and application. We connect with our audience to establish a rapport. We want them to feel confident and supported in their efforts. By involving the audience in the process of our performance we complete the idea of praxis. We provide theory and research and the audience delivers the ideas and practice.

Our research influence is Augusto Boal and his Theater of the Oppressed methods. Additionally, we stay up to date with current events, relevant research, and statistics on the subject matter of sexual violence to incorporate in our live discussion. We also work with each client to personalize our performance so their community can identify with the characters and the scene.

Our work is based on Performance Therapy techniques, sexual assault statistics, anonymous testimonials and survivor’s confidential stories. We also have several survivors on our performance team who imbue the content with their personal experiences.

Our entire team are trained Victim Advocates through EVAWI (End Violence Against Women International)

Our program is compliant with Title IX because we highlight the voices of both female and male survivors and encourage audience members of all gender identities to safely enact active bystander methods to discourage a sexual assault or prevent the harassment or retaliation that often follows an assault or a report of an assault.
