Theme: “Finding Your Bounce” | Youth resilience in the face of obstacles, brought to you by the Coyote Central Youth Advisory
Board. Have fun and don't feel locked into the name or the specifics, think of it as a big picture umbrella theme- take creative freedom to expand on or manipulate it- the title doesn't even need to stay exact!

Project Scope: Mobile art installation and performance, designed specifically for the proscenium at Dr. Blanche Lavizzo Park (see below) that can also be installed or performed at future venues.

Access to: Woodshop and woodworking tools, outdoor building space, mirrored performance studio, electronic music software, welding shop (case by case basis), sink access, digital cameras, sewing machines, laptops, and more.

REMEMBER, this is a quick pitch- We will refine, tweak, or pare down later. Be mindful of what is possible in a 2-3 week window for youth ages 13-15, but dream big!

Deadline: Friday, March 15th // artists will be notified by April 1st.
If you aren't selected to this HTS, we will keep your concept and resume on hand in case we can develop a CityWorks project out of it. We will absolutely keep you in mind for teaching roles at Coyote!
