CRIPSiE Creation to Production Emerging Artist Mentorship Program
Formerly Choreography Mentorship Program
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO APPLIED FOR
THIS RUN OF THE PROGRAM.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.
CRIPSiE’s Creation to Production Emerging Artist Mentorship Program is a two-year collaborative creation-to-production model for choreographers to bring their projects from creation to production to present their new work. CRIPSiE Edmonton can support two creators for the 2024-2026 season.
CRIPSiE connects participants to experienced leaders in the arts community for learning and building their skills in choreography, the business of art, and production.
Who is this program for?
This program is for choreographers who wish to be supported in creating a work of their size and scope and learn the process. The program will accept two individuals who wish to learn choreography and production skills to bring their pieces from creation to production. The participant is financially responsible for getting grants and sponsorship to pay for their work if it exceeds the amount given by CRIPSiE, but the participant will receive mentorship in grant applications and grant writing to support their vision.
Participants are given limited funds to develop and produce a small piece but are supported with information for the grant process with the potential to make a larger project financially possible. Participants will also be given guaranteed space to attend CRIPSiE production workshops and learn about the business of art, along with shadowing opportunities. Participants will have a performance space in our bi-yearly fall show, a choreography fee, and they will be included in CRIPSiE’s fall show marketing.
