Part open mic, part curated discussion, part networking opportunity, Musical Theatre Factory’s (MTF) Salons are seasonal themed events where musical theatre creators and audiences alike can come together to experience new works and engage in critical discourse about the musical theatre industry and form. Salons are hosted by MTF’s Artistic Director, Brisa Areli Muñoz, and a curated guest artist. Artists across disciplines (designers, choreographers, directors, writers, composers, etc.) sign up for a time-boxed slot to share their artist statement and or an excerpt of material they are working on and receive live feedback. Salons provide a common space for the wider community to gather in co-conspiratorship around the ideas and themes of each event. These are also approachable non-traditional networking spaces where artists come to meet their next collaborator. Regardless of how long an artist has been in the community, Salons are a fantastic way to strengthen and cultivate new connections with like-minded creators.
