June 7 - 25, 2021 @ Edgewater Park A FREE Summer arts-intensive for CLE youth presented in partnership with Cleveland Metroparks' Youth Outdoors, produced by Starting Point https://www.clevelandoperatheater.org/creators-collective CLEVELAND, OH, April 2, 2021 Emerging middle and high school-aged artists in the literary, poetic, visual, digital, and musical performing arts are invited to hone their craft with Cleveland Opera Theater in a NEW outdoor Summer arts-intensive. With the help of professional teaching artists, participants will spend one week studying formal construction, lyrical and musical content, and the practical considerations of developing a new opera before creating their own, collaborative dramatic work that they will stage, rehearse, and perform. During the first week, aspiring writers, poets, and librettists have the opportunity to craft their own opera scene. In the second and third weeks, we invite students interested in all aspects of the performing arts to join us in staging, rehearsing, and showcasing the scenes in a free performance offered at Edgewater Park where family, friends, and the local community can recognize the achievements of the young creators and performers. Staff from Cleveland Metroparks Youth Outdoors program will lead the youth through recreational activities and outdoor adventures (all equipment will be provided). Youth Outdoors strives to meet the developmental needs of youth living in or near the City of Cleveland through involvement in outdoor adventure and nature exploration activities. By experiencing the wonder of nature and developing skills in outdoor recreation, young people gain a life-long appreciation and understanding of the importance of parks and nature. They also learn valuable life skills in making decisions, developing interests, communicating thoughts and feelings, making healthy lifestyle choices, and fulfilling responsibilities to others in their group and community. Thanks to Starting Point’s generous funding, the program will be provided free of charge including lunch, snacks, and all necessary materials. Priority will be given to students living or attending school in the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood followed by students living or attending school in the city of Cleveland. The mission of Cleveland Opera Theater is to advance opera through innovative, accessible, and inclusive experiences. Our vision and our motto is Opera For All. We invite you to experience, explore, and engage in opera with us! Follow us on social media @CLEOperaTheater. If you would like more information, please call Megan Thompson at (352) 216-5065 or email mthompson(a)clevelandoperatheater.org.

CORRECTION Karamu House: Call to Playwrights - REI Shorts
by Aseelah Shareef 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

CALL TO PLAYWRIGHTS Racial - Equity - Inclusion I. Information Statement of Purpose Considering America's current social climate following the murder of George Floyd, there is a thirst for deeper learning and racial understanding. As well, there is an opportunity for relevant, engaging and creative offerings to identify and unravel systemic racism while working to build cross racial, social, trust. Karamu House has been at the forefront, answering the call to address social justice issues through theatrical offerings aimed to celebrate, educate and activate communities across the country. Karamu will create new virtual productions to support existing corporate programming initiatives under the umbrella of racial equity, inclusion, diversity and belonging (REIDB). Karamu requests playwrights submit 7-10-minute monologues, scenes or vignettes that illuminate racial equity issues based on lived experience. Each piece should offer authentic and complex perspectives of BIPOC (Black, indigenous, people of color) navigating a society entrenched in systemic racism and oppression. Goals Project goals: 1. Curate meaningful and impactful (theatrical) experiences to support racial equity, inclusion, diversity and belonging. 2. Stimulate fresh and enlightened perspectives about race that identify and unravel systemic racism. 3. Activate and empower participants to cultivate relationships that lead to social trust (e.g., voting in the interests of others, taking intentional action on behalf of other racial groups etc.). II. Guidelines and Considerations * Writings may be based upon 1) Personal experience or the experience of a family member, acquaintance, or friend. 2) Playwright's knowledge of and/or research to learn more about one or more of the topic areas listed above (i.e., racial equity, inclusion, diversity and belonging). 3) Based solely upon the playwright's imagination. * The piece will be used in one or more of the following formats: live (in person) performances, live (zoom or virtual) or pre-recorded performances and used as part of a workshop to educate through theatre, meaning the emphasis here is on the words, the director's vision, and the actor(s) ability to tell your story. * Please ensure that pieces are between 7-10-minutes. * Playwrights should understand that the virtual production is a Karamu original creation. All intellectual property rights for movement, text, song, interpretation, and all other elements associated with the creation and performance of the piece will be the intellectual property of Karamu House. * If Playwright's final submission is selected for use, the Playwright will be compensated $250.00 upon signing an agreement and $250 following receipt of the final draft. * The Playwright understands that full rights to the play will revert back to the playwright after 45-60 days after product development (unless an extension is negotiated and agreed upon). * The Playwright understands that Karamu will produce the selected submission(s) as stand-alone vignettes or tied together with other submissions when necessary. * Playwright shall receive billing credit in all programs related to the piece including digital and printed as contributing writer. III. Submission Submissions should be emailed to: submissions(a)karamuhouse.org<mailto:submissions@karamuhouse.org>. Please use the following email subject line: Racial Equity - First + Last Name. Submissions must be received by 5:30 PM on April 30, 2021. No telephone calls, please.
