2022 MAP Fund Q&A for L.A. Artists

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.

The application is open now and will close May 27, 2022 at 7:00pm E.T.

R+D: Early Project Support For Parents & Guardians

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.

underground underneath the underground (remix): a nomadic psychosomatic club experience with Estrellx Supernova

Monday, February 28, 2022 from 5-8:30pm.

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.

2022 Grantwriting for Performance

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.

Research + Development: Early Project Support 2022

INTEREST FORMS NOW CLOSED

Los Angeles Performance Practice is excited to announce the next round of Research + Development (R+D), designed to support the creation of new work by Los Angeles-based performance makers in the early stages of a project’s process. Through R+D, we aim to provide seed support to artists who are committed to live performance, and who are looking to develop their work locally. Our mission continues to be anchored by a devotion to the production and presentation of contemporary performance by artists whose work advances and challenges multi-disciplinary artistic practices.

The program will support an early development process for two invited projects. Each invited project will receive a $1,600 stipend, plus additional support that will be tailored to best meet individual needs.
