"My co-collaborator (conceiver) and I are looking for a Latiné (preferably Puerto Rican, but not a necessity) composer to score our semi-autobiographical (his story, not mine) meta magical comedic ancestral play with music (10-12 pieces of music). He gets university funding for NYC workshops--we have done one and the previous composer was not available for our 2nd...for which we were supposed to have the first pieces of music. We have also begun applying for grants to fund the future. Once the music is fully written, we both have contacts in the industry to submit for development into production. There is a fully realized draft, but I am still growing it and working on edits. If you are a lyricist I am open to sharing credit if we end up changing a significant amount of song text at your influence, but we are not looking for original songs. The story is set. Oh...the story: Four Latiné artists show up early for a first rehearsal of a project at the request of one of the artists who none of them seem to know from "the biz". This artist/ancestor has lived their lives and those of many others in the diaspora. As the three men (representing the fullness and dichotomy of the life lived by the conceiver) challenge one another's generational understanding, talent and worthiness to be in the room, the female presenting but gender fluid ancestor artist upends all of their lives with the truth of who they are, how they got here and where they're going. Do they put on this show? Can they put on this show? The Broadway banished Puerto Rican artist of a certain age finds voice inside an industry that dared to steal his. (This was actually my first stab at a quick synopsis...it needs work, I know). Anywho, we are looking for a collaborator who wants to share, morph and explore authentic Latiné forms as they compare to Broadway interpretations of those forms. The music is eclectic and our interest is in finding someone open to irreverent play and joyful collaboration. Happy to discuss agreements and terms with the right fit. The two of us are both multi-hyphenates with long standing careers looking for a passionate musician to ride our coattails or offer up theirs (we'll diet)."
