Cameron Steens - Lead Producer
ATC’s 4th annual Winter Lab for bold work and new ideas features 8 projects and 63 participants.
After successfully managing the first three Winter Labs, I assumed the position of Lead Producer. Initially, I convened a panel of six artists to review over 40 distinct projects, ultimately selecting the final eight participants for the 2023 Winter Lab. Subsequently, I collaborated closely with the creators of each show to identify the most suitable collaborators, encompassing actors, directors, dramaturges, consultants, mentors, and designers. I secured contracts for all sixty-three artists, developed schedules for their two-week development periods, and oversaw all marketing initiatives. I coordinated and facilitated group events, showings, and made creative contributions to each project. This endeavor stands as the most significant and gratifying achievement of my professional career to date.
