PATHWAYS
TO WORK
Are you interested in working in the arts but not sure where to start?
Second Echo Ensemble is about knocking down the barriers to participation in the arts industry. It is about offering a creative experience to everyone and bringing all of those bodies onto public stages of their own design.
It is about bringing exceptions, exclusions, the outsiders, gaps in thinking, and gaps in moving out into the open. It is about creating exceptions to the rules.
Join us for exceptional acts and exceptional encounters, and most importantly, a chance to create with exceptional people: people who defy norms, who don't fit neatly, and who challenge our expectations of creativity and the creative body.

In our Pathways to Work Program you will have the opportunity to:
