Inspiracy Arts

Inspiracy Arts will be hosting The Grand 24-hour Play-fest workshop at The Grand Theatre Center for The Arts in Tracy  January 13th-14th 2012! Check out

page 8 of the Arts Education Catalog for more info or go to www.atthegrand.org

Here’s how it works: Over 45 people will sign up to be writers, directors, actors, film-makers and stage crew. The night before the show, a theme is picked at random and the writers have 12 hours to write a 5-10 page script. Writers also receive instructions on number of characters and gender. In the morning, scripts are randomly assigned to teams made of 1 director and 2-3 actors. A technical team works with the director to create simple lighting and sound effects, gather props and costumes and coordinate makeup and hair. Meanwhile a film crew is documenting and editing footage of all the behind the scenes action. The teams workshop the scripts all day in preparation for a live performance onstage!

          
After piles of paperwork and many board meetings centering around subjects such as intellectual property and conflict of
interest policies, Inspiracy Arts Inc. has finally achieved recognition from the Internal Revenue Service as a non-profit 501(c)3
tax-exempt organization. This means we can seek grants and accept tax-deductible donations to further our cause. That cause is creating new works of performance and media art.  In the the past, we worked under the umbrella of another arts organization known as Rio Arts. Inspiracy Arts is excited to take this next step in becoming an independent organization.

The Future

Networking with other arts groups will continue to be an important part of our success. Currently we are searching for a more
concrete home base to use as a launching pad for future projects. Ideally this home-base would serve as both office and rehearsal space. To achieve this we are planning several fundraisers. Our vision is to present new performance art locally, nationally, and eventually internationally.
