ATTENTION EMERGING ARTISTS!
Blindspot Collective is excited to announce our brand new Emerging Artists Collective.
Our EAC group will meet on Sundays from 5pm - 8pm and create a brand new show from
scratch! All disciplines are welcome: dancers, actors, writers, musicians, designers and more!
Participants' contribution to the devising process will be an essential part of the show's
DNA, and offers an opportunity for emerging artists to unleash their creativity, collaborate
with peers, and develop new skills.
Collective workshops will begin on October 22nd, and will run for 12 sessions.
Sessions will primarily be held in Downtown San Diego, and a stipend of approximately
$20 per session will be provided.
Applicants of all experience levels and from all artistic disciplines will be considered
equally. Actors, musicians, writers, composers, dancers, and artists of multiple
disciplines are welcome as they will have an opportunity to enhance their existing skills
while collaborating with fellow artists to gain new insight and experience. Participants
must be between the ages 18-24. Additionally, because Blindspot Collective is
committed to inclusivity and authentic representation, members of historically
excluded or marginalized communities are strongly encouraged to apply. These
communities include but are not limited to: people of color, women, individuals with disabilities,
immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Participants will receive a small stipend for every workshop attended, which will be
paid in two installments. The performance piece that is developed may be integrated into Blindspot Collective's programming and our participants will have the opportunity to work with us on that process as well.
Please note: there is no application fee to be considered. Additionally, college students from outside of metro San Diego are welcome to attend, as we will observe Thanksgiving and Holiday breaks if necessary. While a stipend is provided, housing and transportation is not available.
To apply, please submit this short form. Applications are due by 11:59pm on Friday, October 8th.
Submissions after this date will be considered if space is available, but is not guaranteed to be reviewed.
Please reach out to our coordinator at shellina@blindspotcollective.org with any questions.
