Artistic Support & Collaboration
Sol & Soul provides grassroots production support for artists who have ideas for creating
and presenting socially conscious work. Where time and funding permit Sol & Soul
can:
- Act as a sounding board for new ideas and projects
- Provide feedback on works in progress
- Handle the logistics (technical and production related)
- for performances, readings, and workshops
- Help artists develop proposals and budgets for projects
- Connect artists with schools, universities, and
- community organizations
- Review creative resumes and offer suggestions to
- artists for how to how to market their work
- Over the past 5 years, we’ve brought quite a diverse array of artistic voices
- to D.C.
- These voices have reflected the lives and experiences of people whose
- stories are
- seldom seen on-stage- drunks, social workers, women with HIV, maids,
- slaves, Mexican fruit
- pickers trying to cross the border, Iraqi refugees, Irish factory workers, kids
- who have been shot
- and ones who did the shootings.
