Residency Application season is around the corner! Join us for Pitch Prep with Robyn Ayers, a hands-on workshop for artists at any stage of their careers. In this first session, we’ll dig into the writing that helps you introduce yourself, advocate for your work, and bring your ideas to the page.
This is a two-part series! We encourage participants to sign up for both sessions, which build on one another and take your materials from first draft to submission-ready.
Tickets: $5-20 | Pay what you can
Ready to keep building? Join us for Pitch Prep with Robyn Ayers, the second session of our two-part workshop, where we’ll move from introducing your work to developing the materials that help bring your projects into focus.
In this session, we’ll dig into the writing that helps you articulate your project, communicate your creative vision, and map out your developmental process.

Join us on February 25 for Camille Simone Thomas’ [WIP] of Bad American! Bad American is a solo show and interactive retrospective tracing Camille’s journey from “only a few bad police officers” toward abolition — and the art she created along the way. The work asks: What makes people shift towards abolition?
DUEL is an evening-length duet that transforms conflict into a catalyst for meaning-making and connection. Using movement, spoken text, household items, and projection, the work explores the paradox of “love in tight spaces” through the lens of a queer interracial relationship. As interpersonal friction gives way to surrender and progress, DUEL asks how the love we share with one another can become a tangible source of hope for the future.

The Line is a solo play in which one performer embodies both a father and son — one a famed police officer and the other a passionate social justice advocate – as their relationship comes to a head during the shooting of an unarmed Black man.
