WHO WE ARE

The mission of Artists Unite Collective by StarQuest is to create a safe space for young performing artists to collaborate and connect while laying an educational foundation, honing their current skill sets, and learning new tools to better understand themselves and their craft - all while building relationships and connections with fellow artists.

At our live events, professional leaders in their respective fields guide artists through an integrative combination of interactive talk workshops, movement workshops, and other unique onsite experiences. Our goal is to foster their growth, creativity, and wellness by evolving personal artistic voices, enhancing health literacy, and introducing professional tools for their present and future.

WHAT WE DO

MOVEMENT WORKSHOPS

Our movement workshops cover a wide range of foundational building blocks to broaden and deepen artist technique, creativity, and an understanding of physicality and performance.

INTERACTIVE TALK WORKSHOPS

Our interactive talk workshops are educational sessions led by professionals in their various fields of creativity, wellness, and other areas of performing arts. They are designed to inform, support, and engage participants as artists, athletes, and humans.

OTHER ONSITE EXPERIENCES

The Audition Experience (at some events) provides space for participants to employ the skills and big picture knowledge gained throughout the weekend and experience what an audition is really like. This gives them an opportunity toward professional growth in a safe environment.
