Do I have to be a “professional” Black artist to attend the performance workshops?

We encourage any Black artist who has a relationship to performance and creation to attend. All levels and career stages are welcome. We trust people to self identify and self select workshops that speak to both their skill level and interest in performance and creation.

Can I mix and match workshops on each day during the performance workshops? I want to attend more than one in one day.

Each participant can attend one workshop per day. We’re trying a ting, so give us your feedback about how it worked.
