Chaksampa Tibetan Dance and Opera Company, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, is a non-profit traditional Tibetan performing group dedicated to preserving and sharing the unique art of Tibetan drama, music, and dance. Founded by a small group of master performers, Chaksampa aims to foster the appreciation of Tibetan culture and draw attention to its threatened survival, offering performances of the highest standard to a wide audience.
Named after the famous Tibetan saint Thangtong Gyalpo, known as the Bridge-Builder, Chaksampa builds bridges of cultural exchange, sharing the endangered traditions of Tibet with audiences and artists around the world. Despite the suppression of Tibetan music, dance, and drama by the Chinese, Chaksampa strives to keep this ancient culture alive by showcasing its artistry and raising awareness of its importance.
