February workshop: Project Proposals & Pitches
Friday, January 14th, 2011In February I will be teaching a four week workshop for The Field, one of my favorite arts service organizations in NYC. If you are interested, full details & registration information is below. This will be a working group tailored to serve attendees individually as much as possible, so I encourage you to enroll if you’d like some direct feedback on existing materials or guidance for future projects.
This four-part workshop covers the tools needed to garner support from institutions, appeal to venues and producers, and write/talk effectively about your work. It gives an introduction to proposal writing with a focus on project descriptions, how work samples are handled in panel, and how you can put your best foot forward. We’ll cover pitching the work and building relationships with theaters and funders alike; best practices for seeking opportunities and for following up on leads. Throughout the workshop participants will develop and receive feedback on their own materials.
The dates are Thursdays 6:30-9pm, Feb 3, 10, 17, 24. The cost is $160 for non-members, $100 for Field members and you can enroll here.
