Representation Matters: A Theater Artists Bootcamp

Turn your passion to the next level with this industry special workshop where participants will gain first-hand knowledge of the theatre and performing arts industry, get tips on how to polish and boost one's performing arts resume, build your artistic brand, and learn tips, tricks, and techniques on how to stand out at your next audition and callback! 

Whether you are a new, emerging, or experienced arts practitioner, staying in the industry as a BIPOC artist may prove to be challenging due to lack of opportunities and resources. Representation Matters: A Theater Artists Bootcamp will provide practical ways to connect, engage, and stay in the know about theater and the performing arts in the Bay Area and beyond to further your creative career.

This theatre artist bootcamp is good for all artists with various backgrounds and experiences -- and for those looking to connect with the vibrant performing arts community in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area.
