Creator Collective
Our production programming – Creator Collective – is the heart of what we do.
We guide and support local performers with original ideas in producing their own unique events. These productions offer employment in the field, opportunities for self-expression, valuable work experience, and chances to fail and grow in a professional environment.

“From finding my ideal location, to advertising, to providing hands-on support the day of the event, I was able to not only have several sold out shows, but was also able to realize my creative vision, and I am so grateful for that.”
– Hannah Rittmueller, Creator of Cradle (2022)
“When it came to producing a show like this [Fragments in Order] it felt very daunting. I felt comfortable in creating and setting choreography on dancers, but when it came to the other elements like the admin side, marketing, figuring out what the schedule looks like, finding a lighting designer, finding a videographer to capture the show… All of those details felt intimidating to me, so it was really nice to have etude there to help support me and guide me through those more unknown parts of producing my own show.”
– Lena Granger, Creator of Fragments in Order (2024)
