How does one become a Collective member?
After the Collective works with an individual for a while, it becomes apparent that in addition to their talent(s), they have the right work ethic, one that puts the company ahead of the individual. A member will bring the person’s name up as a candidate for membership and after discussion and interviews, the question will come to a vote. If voted in, the new Collective member must agree to commit two years to the Troupe. The balance of individual politics and different personalities is a delicate one so the Collective does not add members often. We often advise our potential candidates to weigh their decision carefully, because though we offer an artistic home, we require a strong commitment to creative development, political thought, and hard work for not much money.
