Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation Announces New Guest Artist Initiative Program
The Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation, the not-for-profit foundation affiliated with the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, has announced the launch of a new grant program for American colleges and universities to encourage the hiring of professional stage directors and choreographers as guest artists.
The SDCF Guest Artist Initiative Program will provide the selected school with funds of up to $5,000 to match the fee budgeted for the guest artist. A second grant of $1,000 will be awarded to the runner-up applicant school. The foundation will also provide assistance by soliciting applications from professional stage directors and choreographers who wish to be considered for the project.
Only full SDC members in good standing will be considered for guest artist positions. All applications will be forwarded to the school and the school will make the hiring decision.
To be eligible for this grant, the project must be produced by a regionally or nationally accredited American college or university located in the United States, be mounted by May 31, 2011, and be fully funded.
