JUMPSTART/LA
JUMPSTART/LA is a week-long summer program that is dedicated to supporting early and mid career artists in their endeavor to build a sustainable career in dance. Founded by Board Member Emily Wanserski, Gracie Whyte, and Laura Berg of Ground Grooves in 2022, this program informs dancers of the many avenues and job opportunities available to movement artists in LA, including information on key institutions, organizations, resource hubs, entrepreneurial and employment opportunities.

Headshot Days
We aim to bring ease and flow to our creative sector, to provide moments of care and support along the unwieldy journey of being an artist. The Center’s bi-annual headshot days at Effie House offer artists the opportunity to capture their essence in a single frame. We hire the incomparable Owen Scarlett at his full rate, then provide subsidized 30 minute sessions with him. One look + two edits!
Interested in the next headshot day? Let us know!
