Echelon Salon I: Spring Edition - April
Theme: The Artist as Vessel and Visionary

Echelon Salon is a triannual networking event designed to bring together emerging and established voices in the performing arts. With a focus on live expression across music, theater, and dance, the salon offers an intentional space for dialogue, mentorship, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

The Spring Edition provides early-career and rising artists with direct access to industry leaders, fostering relationships that can lead to mentorship, feedback, and future opportunities. Through live showcases, artist talkbacks, and moderated discussions, participants gain insights into both craft and career.

This salon is not just a performance platform — it is a meeting ground for ideas, partnerships, and professional growth. Artists are invited to share in-progress work, exchange feedback with peers, and engage with creative directors, composers, choreographers, and performers who are shaping the future of the performing arts.

Core Themes:

• Music & Composition
  Composers and performers share original works and receive live feedback from peers and guest mentors.

• Theater & Opera
  From staged readings to performance excerpts, this segment explores storytelling through voice, text, and dramatic action.

• Dance & Embodied Narrative
  Artists present movement-based works and discuss how the body tells stories that words cannot.

• The Artist as Performer
  A conversation on identity, versatility, and presence — how today’s artists navigate multiple roles and disciplines.

Whether you are developing your next piece or seeking meaningful connections in your field, Echelon Salon I offers a vibrant space to grow, share, and be seen.
