YOUR ART WILL ALWAYS MATTER TO ME

〰️

YOUR ART WILL ALWAYS MATTER TO ME 〰️

THE BASICS

  • Your art will always matter to me. I’m here to help you make your art.

  • Holistic, enthusiastic, personal support for individual artists and project teams making new work.

  • 1-1 or small team sessions tailored to your artistic goals.

  • Built on my 15 years of experience working in theatre and live performance.

  • Available for artists working in any discipline and at any experience level.

  • 1-2 hour sessions, $255 / hour.

  • Interest-free payment plans joyfully and abundantly available.

FOR ARTISTS

As your Art Mentor, I’m here to help you connect to your inspiration, commit to your voice, and build a sustainable and joyful relationship to your personal artistic practice. Sessions are tailored to your specific artistic goals, and can include:

  • Working together to make a game plan for your creative practice - a regular writing schedule, a plan for presenting your next project in-person, a plan for working in a new creative discipline for the first time, etc. 

  • Feedback on your writing, performance, or both.

  • Deadlines to support your creative work. 

  • Conversation on what local resources might best support you in your art practice.

  • Discussion about incorporating active boundaries, participation, and/or interactive elements into your work. 

  • Sharing know-how from over a decade of independent live art production that might serve you in your own artistic practice.

  • And more!

    Art Mentorship might be for you if:

  • You’re an individual artist who wants companionship and support as you explore your personal artistic practice.

  • You’re a visual artist or writer who wants to work in a live performance way for the first time.

  • You’re a seasoned theatre or performance artist who wants to reconnect to a part of your practice that you miss.

  • You know you could use a deadline or three but could use help setting and sticking to them.

  • You want your art to be more interactive, and want help figuring out what that could look like.

  • You know you have an artistic voice and want to share it with the world, but aren’t sure where to start.

FOR PROJECTS

As a Project Mentor, I can help 1-5 collaborators hold a project in process as an outside eye and enthusiastic supporter on both a text/project level and a process/production one. This can look like:

  • Regular outside eye visits during your process.

  • Research, dramaturgy, and holding the piece in context.

  • Consultation on the produced life of a project - what’s working or not in a current production, brainstorming and mapping out future productions, thinking about the best audiences and spaces for a production, etc. etc.

  • Consultation on incorporating interactive and/or game elements into your project.

  • Working with you and your collaborators to create a healthy and active set of boundaries for your process and space.

Overall, I’m here to ask questions, cheer you on, and do what I can to help you feel confident in the creative decisions you are making with this project.

Project Mentorship might be for you if:

  • You're a small team of artists looking for support as a unit.

  • You’re self-producing a project for the first time.

  • You have some experience presenting work, but are dealing with a specific new challenge with this project.

  • You want your project to be more interactive, and want help figuring out what that could look like.

  • You feel like there are some aspects of your project or process that are going amazing and some that aren’t, and could use support figuring out what needs to change so that every part of the work can shine.
