EPIC EDUCATION: ONE OF EPIC'S PRIMARY SERVICES ARE FREE CLASSES AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS FOR ALL COMPANY MEMBERS LIVING WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. DURING THE SHORT YEAR PERIOD COVERED BY THIS RETURN, ENCOMPASSING JAN 1,2020 - JUNE 30, 2020, THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC FORCED US TO SWITCH OUR PROGRAMS TO A VIRTUAL PLATFORM. EPIC PIVOTED IMMEDIATELY AND CONTINUED TO OFFER CLASSES 6 DAYS A WEEK, SOMETIMES TWICE A DAY FOR PLAYERS TO ATTEND FOR FREE. CLASSES INCLUDED PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE BROADWAY COMMUNITY AND ENGAGED TEACHING ARTISTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TO TEACH MUSICAL THEATER, DESIGN, ACTING, AND MORE. OVERALL, WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE FREE CLASES TO OVER 81 ARTISTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITES. WITH OUR FREE CLASSES, WE HOPE TO PROVIDE THE TRAINING AND SUPPORT NEEDED FOR OUR PLAYERS TO PURSUE A MEANINGFUL CAREER IN THE ARTS AND TO EXPOSE STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES TO A PATHWAY TO ACCESSIBLE ARTS AND CREATIVE CONFIDENCE. ADVOCACY: THROUGOUT THE PANDEMIC AND THE EARLY PART OF 2020, EPIC PRESENTED AT NATIONAL CONFERENCES AROUND THE COUNTRY, SPECIFICALLY THE "UNCONFERENCE" WITH THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, TO PROMOTE INCLUSIVE THEATER ARTS EDUCATION PRACTICES AND ACT AS AN ELEVATED PLATFORM FOR DISABILITY ARTS. EPIC ALSO CONTINUED TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE NYC DOE AND PROVIDE VIRTUAL CLASSES FOR AUTISTIC STUDENTS TO FURTHER THEIR SOCIAL SKILLS, READING COMPREHENSION, SPEECH AND CONFIDENCE.
EPIC PRODUCTIONS: EPIC WORKS TIRELESSLY TO CREATE PROFESSIONAL QUALITY PERFORMING OPPORTUNITES IN THE ARTS FOR ITS NEURO-DIVERSE ACTORS SO THEY CAN GET HANDS-ON JOB EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD AND BE PREPARED TO ATTAIN JOBS OUTSIDE OF EPIC IN THE ARTS WORLD. IN 2020, FORCED TO CANCEL PRODUCTIONS DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, EPIC PIVOTED VIRTUALLY AND LAUNCHED AN EPIC SINGS FOR AUTISM VIDEO PROJECT TO ENGAGE EPIC ARTISTS WITH MEMBERS OF THE BROADWAY COMMUNITY AND CREATE CABARET VIDEOS TO REMAIN ACTIVE.
