Center Stage Opera in Canoga Park is looking for a set designer for
their June 9-10 production of Rossini\'s The Barber of Seville.
This is in no way a traditional production. The opera is being set in
modern day as a reality television show -- a mixture of The Bachelor,
Real Housewives, and Jerry Springer. The set should be fairly simple and
minimal, but should clearly represent the concept. We have a camera
crew, complete with all video equipment (camera, boom, etc), that will
be onstage almost the entire time.
There is a stipend available for this position.
If you have resources or the ability yourself to fabricate the set (with
the participation and help of the Stage Director and other company
members), all the better! If not, please still email us.

The Armory Center for the Arts is seeking visual artists to participate in a nine-month Teaching Artist training and teaching program. The program involves learning to teach children and teens ages 3 through 17 through gallery touring techniques and hands-on art making experiences in a contemporary art context. The Fellows participate in a series of training sessions throughout the first three months which emphasize innovative teaching methods, educational theory, and idea-based teaching processes. Fellows also receive one-on-one guidance and mentoring by experienced teaching artists as they learn about and assist in other Armory programs.

Requirements
Graduate or post-graduate MFA students in visual art may apply. Some teaching experience is preferred.
