WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

 

This is entirely up to you and your needs! We DO suggest the following:

 

• Comfortable clothing you can move in easily [such as, dance or yoga attire]

• Comfortable footwear and dance shoes, as needed, based on the final schedule

• A warm cover-up [venue temperatures can greatly vary, so having a sweatshirt, hoodie, or jacket handy may help you remain comfortable]

• Notebook and writing utensils for notes, ideas, etc.

• Refillable water bottle

• Plans for meals [such as, packed lunch/dinner if the venue allows, research for quick bites close to the venue, etc.]

• An open mind and desire to learn!

 

IS FOOD PROVIDED?

 

AUC does not provide food onsite. Daily lunch and dinner breaks of at least one hour each are built into the event schedules. Each venue is different. Some may have food available for purchase and/or allow outside food to be brought in, however, some may not. Please check your specific event venue and plan accordingly!

 

WHO CAN ATTEND?

 

AUC offers experiences for young performing artists [dancers, vocalists, actors, and more] ages 10 - 19 and the adults that support them. "Adult" is described as a teacher or parent/guardian of attending artist, or other teacher/young experienced artist within the performing arts industry. The Adult path is focused on providing information and perspective to further support the growth and knowledge of the next generation of artists. For more information, see “General Event Details – Age Guidelines” and “General Event Details – Experience Path Details”.

 

WHO CAN REGISTER ONLINE?

 

Both individual and group registration options are available.

 

• ‘Individual’ refers to artists, parents/guardians, or teachers registering with no affiliation to a group attending the event.

 

• ‘Group’ refers to any studio, school, or other institution/establishment with multiple artists, parents/guardians, and/or teachers registering for an event. Discounts are available for large group registrations.

 

The onsite experience will remain the same for both independent and group participants, as this simply refers to the method of registration. For more information, see “General Event Details – Registration Information”.

 

WHEN AND WHERE ARE YOUR EVENTS?

 

Our weekend-long events take place from September – December, 2025. We are still adding events to our calendar! To see if we’re coming to your area, see “Live Events”.

 

IS THERE A HOST HOTEL FOR EACH EVENT?

 

Yes! This information can be found on each individual event page a few weeks prior to each event.

 

WHAT'S OFFERED AT AN EVENT?

 

Our interactive talk and movement workshops are the core of each Experience Path. For some sample workshops, see “About The Schedule”. We also have several additional experience opportunities that vary in participatory access based on each Experience Path. They are provided in addition to ongoing workshops and are optional yet encouraged! For more information, see “General Event Details – Onsite Experience Opportunities”.

 

WHAT'S THE EVENT SCHEDULE LIKE?

 

To view a sample schedule, see “About The Schedule”.

 

While we strive to have a comprehensive and balanced schedule fostering health, creativity, and professional growth for each event, specific workshops will vary city to city. Specific event schedules and workshops are subject to change up to the day of the event. Tentative city-specific schedules will be available through the event page on the AUC website at least one week prior to the event.

 

IS THERE A COMPETITION ELEMENT TO YOUR EVENTS?

 

There are no competitive elements at any Artists Unite Collective event. Part of our mission is to help build a community and provide a space for artists to connect and collaborate throughout their continuous Experience Paths.

 

WHO LEADS THE WORKSHOPS?

 

Industry professionals in their respective fields of health, performing arts, and other areas lead our workshops. The schedule and leaders list will become available closer to each specific event.

 

HOW DO I ACCESS THE WORKSHOP ROOMS?

 

Passes received at onsite registration must be worn at all times to gain access to Experience Path workshops. This is for the safety of all guests!

 

ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOLARSHIPS OR AWARDS TO ATTEND YOUR EVENTS?

 

Information for scholastic application opportunities through the AUC website will become available soon through our "Community Connections" page.
