The Solo Project is...
The Solo Project is a virtual two-month residency for Black female identifying queer artists to create original solo shows. This unique genre merges theatre and film. Each cohort of artists are given their own creative team (director-dramaturge-mentor- cinematographer) to guide them each step of the way. Professional workshops are provided to make sure that each artist can achieve more than they dreamed to be possible while developing valuable skills. And shine a light on what it means to be Black and female identified in today’s America – by creating powerful and relevant stories .
