APPLICATION PROCESS

TIMELINE

• Fall 2021 registration has closed. 
• SPW will begin accepting applications for the Winter 2022 cohort in November. 

CLASS SELECTION

• On the application you may apply for a slot in more than one class.
• You will be able to prioritize your class day/time preferences.
• You will be placed in only one class. (Even though I admire the enthusiasm, it’s only one class at a time.)​

DEPOSIT & CLASS FEE

• When you apply, a deposit will be collected ($100) via Venmo.
• If you are not selected for the class, the deposit will be refunded to you, entirely.
• If you are selected for the class, your deposit becomes non-refundable. The balance of the class fee is due prior to class starting.

​SELECTION CRITERIA & THINKING

When selecting participants several factors will be considered:

• Your intention.
• Your willingness to engage with the process.
• Your membership in groups that are historically underrepresented in solo performance spaces.
• It doesn't help or hurt if you are an SPW alum. 

​
WHAT THIS IS:
SPW acknowledges its role as a platform that promotes personal narrative.
As such, SPW can systematically amplify voices that are systematically silenced. The only way to truly support diversity is to make room for it - to cultivate it, intentionally.

WHAT THIS ISN'T:
We do not seek to welcome more BIPOC folks to SPW in an effort help white folks do anti-racism work.

COVID-19 RESPONSE

• SPW requires all workshop participants to be fully vaccinated before the start of the first class.
• Stage Werx Theatre has installed UV light in the HVAC system. (A giant fan circulates air, pulling in outside air and zaps returning air with UV light which is proven to kill all kinds of things, including COVID-19.)
• SPW is responsive to state and local government recommendations, prioritizing public health and safety.
