Shark Tank: the Live Event Pitch Project

How can we experience live art, performance and
entertainment when the creators cannot be in the
same physical space? Or when the audience cannot
use two or more of their senses? Or when the venue
is a broom closet? Inspired by the COVID-19
pandemic, we will develop new ideas and creative
solutions for how live art and entertainment can
be produced and consumed within specific
circumstances or limitations. In teams, we will
brainstorm, develop and pitch an idea for a
one-time live artistic performance or experiential
event to a panel of "Sharks" (ie. faculty, staff
and entertainment professionals) for their
"investment" and feedback. This is the CalArts
version of Shark Tank!
