Soaring Solo Studios SOLO LABS are webinars FOR Solo Artists BY Solo Artists. This Funding, Branding & Winning Awards as a Solo Artist.

Join Rejyna Douglass-Whitman for a 90 minute online deep dive into how to fund, brand and win awards as a Solo Artist.

Most solo artists have a script they believe in, a story only they can tell, and absolutely no idea how to pay for it. Asking others for money is a cringe concept – because that’s the wrong way to frame it. They wait for the right moment, the right grant or collaborator, or a magical burst of confidence. Meanwhile, their show idea sits in a drawer, in phone notes or on a computer and the world never sees it.

This SoloLab will teach you how to stop waiting.

In 90 minutes, you will learn how to fund your solo show without begging, brand your work so people actually remember it and buy tickets, and protect yourself from burnout so you make it to opening night instead of giving up two weeks before.

This is not theory. This is the plan Rejyna used to take her show from idea to awards, and she is walking you through every step.

You will walk out with a funding strategy you can start using this week, language that makes your show sound as urgent and necessary as it actually is, and a survival plan for the hard days when you question whether any of this is worth it.

If your solo show matters, it deserves to be seen. But it will not fund itself, promote itself, or protect you from burning out. You need a plan, and this workshop will give you one.
