Janae Beaver is a creative producer, project manager, and intimacy coordinator based in New York City. Bringing a grounded and warm presence to projects, Janae prioritizes integrity, listening with care, and always a little bit of fun.

Before moving to New York, Janae spent two years developing research on the use of theatre as intervention in special education curriculum. This time has guided her artistic practice to be focused on education and using art as a social good. During her time in theatre, and supporting the development and production of television and film, she has focused her efforts on supporting new work. She deeply enjoys the unique creative energy that forms around a new project in development. She enjoys taking the time to listen and learn from community members and collaborate together to improve upon systems, dismantle harmful structures, and participate in mutual aid. As a leader and support system in artistic spaces, she aims to uplift diverse voices and create space for new ideas.

This program brings Broadway designers together once a year to inspire and foster relationships with BIPOC students. As the creative management associate with One Nation One Project she organized the marketing and messaging for a national arts and wellness initiative inspired by the Federal Theatre Project, launching in 2024.
