Artistic teens may not always want to enter the traditional career path, especially in the live entertainment capital of the world. Organizers hope a new performance group will give them an outlet for their creativity while helping them prepare for careers in the arts.

Project Mosaic, now forming, is the brainchild of Mike and Cassandra Rice, who own Gymcats, a gymnastics training facility, and Inversion Entertainment, a production company that creates Cirque du Soleil-style shows. The couple formed a nonprofit branch of Inversion in order to benefit local teens, especially those who would not normally have the money for special training in the arts.
