Schools can hire individual PERFORM! artists as part of the Workshop program or, for more long-term projects, as part of the Performers in Residence program.
The Performer’s wage in both programs is $50/hour and the cost is split between PERFORM! ($20) and the school ($30) as long as subsidies are available.
For more information on individual performers, see the Performer Profiles.
