Outfest/AMAW Trans & Non-Binary Scholarship
AMAW TRANS/NON-BINARY/INTERSEX SCHOLARSHIP
A program for TRANS & NON-BINARY & INTERSEX Actors
2023 Program
ANTHONY MEINDL’S ACTOR WORKSHOP is proud and excited to offer a series of scholarships specifically for actors and aspiring actors from the Trans, Non-Binary and Intersex communities.
For over 25 years, AMAW has striven to be a safe haven of artistic exploration and expression for every person who comes through our doors. As a training center for Creatives of all kinds, within the industry of Media/Film/TV/Performance/Theatre and Acting Theory & Technique, we intend to be a leader in inspiring and guiding best practices of full human expression.
Our studios are committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for members of our Trans, Non-Binary and Intersex Communities, Faculty & Staff, and any other members of an oppressed or under-represented group.
Our goal is to offer a safe and nurturing environment for all actors and create opportunities to increase the level of representation both at our own studio as well as in the industry as a whole.
There is a deficit in opportunities for trans, non-binary and intersex actors, so this is our opportunity to provide further training in addition to providing an opportunity to share their craft on a bigger stage.
