With $50,000 in seed money, LAPP announces Bridge the Gaps, a fund to support fire-impacted artists in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Performance Practice reached out to over 1,372 members of our community to assess the impact of the wildfires on their well-being. Our findings may surprise you.
If you are self-employed, FEMA may be able to provide funds to repair or replace disaster-damaged tools and equipment required for your job. This help is available to a wide variety of applicants, including artists, musicians, and many other occupations.
Playwrights and librettists in need of financial aid due to the impact of the wildfires in Eaton Canyon, Pacific Palisades, and the greater Los Angeles area are eligible to apply for a Dramatists Guild Crisis Relief Grant. Crisis Relief Grants are available to support housing and utilities costs, medical bills, groceries, legal fees, and other essential expenses.
MusiCares provides crisis relief, preventive care, recovery resources, and need-based financial assistance for people across all music professions. MusiCares is providing short-term disaster relief to those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, including $1,500 in financial assistance and a $500 grocery card, to music professionals impacted. MusiCares disaster relief is intended to cover short-term costs from evacuating (hotel, food, supplies). MusiCares is also able to provide additional support for individuals with considerable impact, including medical issues, mental health support, damaged music equipment or longer-term relocation needs.
The Crew Nation Global Relief Fund is committing $1 million to assist performing musicians, live music crew, and live music industry workers affected by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. Established by Live Nation Entertainment in 2020, Crew Nation is dedicated to aiding music community members experiencing unforeseen hardships. In response to the wildfires’ devastation across L.A. County, Crew Nation has opened applications for grants up to $5,000 for individuals currently employed within the industry facing displacement expenses due to mandatory evacuation orders, damage, or loss.
KCRW Music Relief has compiled a list of resources for musicians affected by the wildfires that includes pro-bono studio time and recording services, gear-sharing and donations, and more.
Art Noir Jar of Love gives creatives of color access to funds and resources typically not reserved for them in the mainstream art world. To date, they have distributed over $300,000 in unrestricted grants, alleviating financial burdens and empowering artists to create and thrive. These microgrants are open to artists of all kinds, including performing artists, living in Los Angeles and adjacent tribal nations.

LAPP is hosting an open Q&A on May 3rd at 1pm for Los Angeles artists to hear more about the upcoming opportunity for the MAP Fund from their team.
The MAP Fund announced their 2022 Grant Cycle, which will distribute $2.6M to new, live performance projects in the United States and its territories that connect with MAP’s mission to invest in artistic production as the critical foundation of imagining, and ultimately co-creating, a more equitable and vibrant society.

Los Angeles Performance Practice is thrilled to further expand on our Research + Development (R+D) program offerings by announcing a new residency opportunity for parents/guardians.
The program will support an early development process for two invited projects. Each invited residency will receive a $1,200 stipend, a $800 contribution towards childcare expenses, and one week or approximately 40 hours in a work/rehearsal space. We are open to artists constructing their time in a way that serves their creativity and their parenting lives, and will work with each invited artist to find an appropriate work space based on the project’s needs and the program’s available resources.

In this workshop / session, we will set a personal intention for our practice together that will collectively invite in the potency of our desires, erotic potential, and dreams into the center of our space. Our bodies are our compass and we will tune, listen, confide in and with stillness, and from this sacred place allow what needs to happen to unfold. Technically speaking, we will move between healing circle orientations, club dancing and improvisational scores, and some distillations from biodynamic craniosacral therapy remixed with my own choreographic curanderx and divination practices.
Join us for three Tuesday working sessions, March 1, 8, and 15, led by Los Angeles Performance Practice’s founder and executive director, Miranda Wright and Development and Communications Manager, Deborah Reed. Our three session grant writing workshop is designed to leave you with a fully prepared proposal for your next grant application or project proposal.
