DESCRIPTION:Â
The Obsidian Theatre Festival produced by GhostLight Creative Productions, Incorporated and Nicely Theatre Group, is CALLING for an Arts Administration Coordinator for its third season.
ABOUT: The Obsidian Theatre Festival centers Black stories, through an invigorating celebration of new work by emerging Black voices. Produced by Detroiters in the city of Detroit, the Obsidian Theatre Festival illuminates the rich diversity of experiences relevant to the African diaspora.
Our team seeks to normalize the panoply of Black American culture through an inclusive, color conscious lens. We are dedicated to the exploration of universal themes, and acknowledgment of the ways in which intersecting identities shape the world in which we live.
Â
Returning for our third season, we believe art is most impactful when artists bring the fullness of their identities and experiences to their work; and we actively encourage creativity in thought, storytelling and casting by asking the following:
Â
*How do stories shift if the established ideas of a character’s gender identity, ethnicity, disability, skin color, height, weight, and/or sexual orientation are challenged?
*What layers of meaning and depth, if any, are brought to the surface in this exploration?
Â
*How does an imaginative, out of the box creative process push back against, or reinforce existing social structures?
The Obsidian Theatre Festival accepts applicants of every identity, and does not discriminate on the basis of identity, including but not limited to:Â race, creed, color, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status, sexual orientation, religion, HIV serostatus, disability, height, weight, veteran status, marital status, or economic class.
The Obsidian Theatre Festival will be presented in 3 parts
*OTF Main Stage: Featuring full-length plays that examine the diversity of the black experience.
*Musical Theatre Showcase: Staged readings of new musicals, highlighting an important step in the development of new work.
*Obsidian Cabaret: Featuring nationally renowned artists in an intimate evening of music and storytelling.Â
