“Being a person of color, queer, and disabled — not only means that I subvert the norm, but it can also mean being othered by communities that were meant for one aspect of my identity because of an intersecting aspect. So I’m very much interested in unconventional themes, philosophical controversies, and contemporary challenges against conservative perspectives.”
Los Angeles Performance Practice seeks an outstanding undergrad or spring 2026 grad to assist with administering the California Arts Council Independent Artist Fellowships.
“We are living through a moment in which artists are expected to do more with less, to move between institutional logics and community urgencies, to survive precarity and still be visionary. Too often, artists are spoken about rather than spoken with. Too often, institutions prioritize metrics over lived realities. If we are to build a sustainable arts ecosystem in Los Angeles, institutions must realign, not with trends or mandates, but with artists.”
Bringing experience in theatremaking and human-centered design, Jazz is LAPP’s new Programming + Producing Intern.
“After my last show in high school, I tried to let go of theater for good, telling myself that it would be better to focus fully on my academics in college. That lasted all of three months.”
This paid, part-time position offers a hands-on opportunity to work closely with LAPP’s artistic staff on the planning, production, and execution of our year-round artist programs.
