​Stage the Change Conference 2025

​Theme: "Finding Hope, Sharing Light: Stage the Change"
Stage the Change invites your students to harness their creative voices and explore the transformative power of hope through theater, dance, and film.
In times of uncertainty, the performing arts can remind us of our resilience, our ability to uplift one another, and the connections that keep us strong.  Art serves as a beacon—illuminating the shadows, offering solace, and inspiring action.
​We are seeking original, student-created vignettes, films, and dance pieces (up to seven minutes) that reflect this year’s theme.
A panel of educators and industry professionals in theater, film, and dance will evaluate submissions based on artistic content, social message, and impact.
Selected pieces will be featured at our November conference—an incredible opportunity for students to perform on a professional stage among peers, educators, artists, & community leaders.​
