[Perform-Talk] Exciting opportunity for blind performers!

[Julie McGinnity]

Good evening performing artists,

We were presented with an exciting opportunity for a performing artist
who wishes to develop their career.  David Cutler, director of SAVVI
Arts Venture Challenge (an interdisciplinary arts boot camp to
transform communities,) has reached out to us and asked us to help
identify someone who will be interested in attending.  His
organization will be offering a scholarship to cover the cost of the
program for one, maybe two, blind attendees.  The scholarship only
covers tuition for the program, but if housing and travel costs become
a barrier, the performing arts division will help you overcome this
obstacle.  This program will take place from June 1-7, 2019, in
Columbia, South Carolina and will most definitely be classified as
career development.  You can read more about it at the link below.

He is asking for applicants who meet the following criteria:

•	Spectacular human being, works well on teams
•	Talented performing artist
•	Priority for dance or theatre, though inter-disciplinary is interesting
•	Not from SC
•	Professional artist, not a student


Please understand that he is willing to be flexible, so if you do not
quite meet all of the above criteria, you may be considered.  Since
the board of the performing arts division was asked to collect
information for seriously interested parties, I ask that if you do
wish to be a part of the program, you contact me, no later than
November 19, 2018.  The relevant information can be found below.
Please email with the following information:

•	Your name and contact info
•	Your resume, geared towards your performing arts career
•	A paragraph explaining why you would be the best candidate for a
program like this


If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email or call.  But
please, do email with the information requested as we would like to be
able to pass on your resume to David Cutler.
