Young, Gifted, and Black (YGB) is Obsidian Theatre Company’s arts training program dedicated to supporting Black theatre practitioners in non-performance disciplines. This six-month intensive explores Black diaspora theatre and performance aesthetics through a decolonial and intersectional lens. Participants will benefit from ongoing mentorship, masterclasses, and apprenticeships, culminating in an ensemble creation devised, directed, and designed by the YGB cohort. We are dedicated to empowering and elevating artistic leaders. We envision a future where Black production professionals are abundant and integral, significantly enhancing our theatre community with their expertise. The Young, Gifted, and Black program will support emerging leaders in Directing and Design, including Set, Costume, Lighting, and Sound. We are welcoming five participants into the 2025 cohort: four designers and one director. Learn more and apply to YGB here: https://lnkd.in/gwBNrKbE
