Before You Apply

This is more than a performance opportunity.

Staging Her supports young women artists who are ready to grow as performers, cultural ambassadors, and community leaders. The application helps us understand who you are, where you come from, how you move, and why this opportunity matters to your future.

You will be asked about:

  • Your background — name, age, country, education, family, and current responsibilities.
  • Your travel readiness — passport status, prior travel, comfort being away from home, and practical needs.
  • Your health and safety — injuries, medical concerns, dietary needs, and training limitations.
  • Your performance experience — disciplines, skills, shows, training history, and artistic interests.
  • Your motivation — why you are applying and what you hope to bring back home.
