About The Movement x Black List
Ladder Commission
The Black List is a platform dedicated to nurturing written storytelling and empowering writers to maximize their professional potential. First established in 2005 as an annual survey of Hollywood's most-liked unproduced screenplays, the Black List has since grown into a comprehensive resource for the creative industries.
As a haven for artistic experimentation, community building and big, bold, vibrant work by artists of color, a partnership between The Movement and The Black List was a no brainer.
What we’re looking for:
Proposals for new work by generative artists (i.e. artists from any discipline that create new works for the stage) exploring herculean ideas, exploding the theatrical form and who are unafraid to re-imagine what theater can be and who it is for. Proposals/ideas must be brand new (i.e. never written or workshopped) and center complex stories about communities of color that are bold, risky and unapologetic.
The selected artist will receive a $10,000 commissioning award as well as funding and development support for a year through The Movement’s Ladder Series (new work development program). Support includes monthly meetings with The Movement’s artistic team, a workshop and public staged reading.

Our Mission
The Movement Theatre Company creates an artistic social movement by developing and producing new work by artists of color. Our work engages audiences in a rich theatrical dialogue, enlightens communities to the important issues affecting our world, and empowers artists to celebrate the many sides of their unique voice.
