Sign ups are open! Studio School of Design is once again partnering with the Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation, Local USA 829, and TSDCA to co-host our annual series of Designer & Director-Choreographer networking events! Held via Zoom throughout February 2025, meet and reconnect with directors, choreographers, and designers from across the country!

Each event will consist of a series of one-on-one meetings where director/choreographers will be paired with designers, with a potential for small group meetings toward the end if time allows.

Please note that space is limited! Sign up early, and make sure to sign up by February 1, 2025. Everyone may attend one event. This series is open to Designers, Directors, and Choreographers at all stages of their careers. This is open to both union and non-union designers in all categories, and directors and choreographers do not need to be members of SDC to attend.

THIS IS A TWO HOUR EVENT. Since the events are structured as a series of one-on-ones, we ask that you stay the whole time. ASL interpreters are available for this series. To help us book the right number of interpreters, please let us know if you would use this resource at least eight days before the event(s) you would like to attend.

Price: Free!
