Ferryman and IBPOC

Ferryman Company Members Deirdre V. Lyons and Whitton Frank had a wonderful time working with the IBPOC Fellows in their Intro to VR Performance workshop this weekend. It is always a joy for Ferryman to help support emerging VR artists and programs like the IBPOC Fellowship and work with wonderful companies like Single Thread Theatre Co.

The IBPOC Fellowship was created by Single Thread Theatre in PXR’s inaugural year to offer two racialized artists a free Oculus headset and free admission to PXR. The program then expanded into a two-year paid training program for IBPOC creators to develop their skills and proficiency in the XR medium. In 2022, Single Thread Theatre partnered with Debbie Deer Productions, expanding the fellowship to include an increased cash award and a three-month paid training incubator for eight IBPOC artists.
