Creative Encounters - Forum: Creating programming to change The Theatre

Use this Zoom link to attend the Forum on line.

Have you ever wanted to create your own theatrical performance but felt that the Theatrical Industrial Complex was just too daunting?  Arts instigator and early-career producer Amber Holder will speak on creating a performing arts career with radical programming in this "gig economy."  Amber is a guest artist visiting IUP's Theater-by-the-Grove this semester.  Her visit is sponsored by IUP's Diversity and Inclusion Fund managed by the Office of Social Equity and Title IX.

Since moving to Pittsburgh in January of 2019, Amber has had the privilege of working as an Artistic Intern and later Artistic Fellow at City Theatre Company, Artistic Assistant for Pittsburgh CLO's New Musicals Weekend, Administrative Assistant for demaskus Theater Collective, and Program and Event Sales Manager at the New Hazlett Theater. Amber is deeply committed to changing the theatre through radical programming, staffing and casting diversification, inquiry, authenticity and laughter. She believes most strongly in the interdisciplinary potential of the arts. Amber holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music and a Master of Arts in Musicology from the Pennsylvania State University.
