Description
The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center (Edmonds, WA) is seeking artwork for the upcoming exhibition ‘Print and Press.’
For the exhibit 'Print and Press', Graphite Arts Center invites artists to push the process of creating works from a matrix (physical printing surface) such as a plate, a block, a screen, or other transfer method, and explore the potential of the printed mark.
Open to artists working in all traditional printmaking methods, as well as experimental printing techniques and hybrid processes, this exhibition welcomes a range of approaches to printmaking. Print based construction or installation works may be entered, as well as works redefining printmaking using fresh approaches which may employ ceramics, textiles, or something we have not yet thought of.
Works may be unique or editioned but must originate from a printing surface used to transfer an image.

Description
About South End Stories
South End Stories is an arts education organization based out of Seattle, WA. South End Stories’ (SES) mission is to ignite joy and justice in classrooms and communities using arts-based learning, anti-racist education, and social activism. Our vision is liberation through storytelling and the arts. We support culturally sustaining and anti-racist facilitation for youth through trauma-conscious, arts-based programming that centers student voices, validates their experiences, and creates safe healing spaces for creative expression and identity exploration. We work holistically with youth, teachers, and families to reshape the school climate into an environment that is welcoming and relevant for all. Our various programs for ages K-12 are based in visual arts, film, theatre, and movement.
We are especially interested in artists with experience in Theatre of the Oppressed, devising, improvisation, and socially engaged theater practices who believe in the power of art to build community and imagine new futures.
A Teaching Artist with experience in Theatre of the Oppressed can hold space for difficult conversations without steering them. A skilled practitioner knows how to create an environment where young people feel safe enough to engage honestly, while never sanitizing or softening the real conditions of their lives.
Comfort with non-linear, participant-driven processes: this work rarely goes exactly as planned, and that is by design.
Deep facilitation skills: the ability to guide a room without dominating it, and to respond in the moment when something unexpected or emotionally charged surfaces.
An understanding of how race, class, gender, immigration status, and other systems of power show up in the room and in the work.
The Teen Theatre Intensive explores how theater can connect people, elevate voices, and support young people in expressing their ideas about the world around them. The program focuses on helping students develop practical theater skills while engaging in collaborative creation and storytelling.
Rather than focusing on producing a fully polished show, the program centers process, experimentation, and ensemble-building, culminating in a creative sharing of work developed during the intensive. Students will explore a range of theater techniques—including improvisation, movement, monologue work, and devising—while gaining a deeper understanding of what it means to create theater collectively.
The Theater Teaching Artist will collaborate closely with two other teaching artists (theater and dance), a vocal coach who works with students twice a week, and a program coordinator providing logistical support.
Schedule & Time Commitment
Program dates: July 27 – August 21
There will be staff meetings and gatherings through end of August
Daily program hours: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Teaching artists should plan to arrive approximately 30–60 minutes before the program day for preparation, and stay 30–60 minutes after some sessions for reflection and team coordination as needed (schedule can be flexible). This time is also paid at the same hourly rate.
Additional planning time for sessions you facilitate are also compensated at the hourly rate. South End Stories allocates one hour of planning time per session facilitated, but this is flexible based on need.
Planning & Meetings:
April-June: Approximately one 60 minute meeting per week
July 1st- July 24th : two to three 60 minute meetings per week
July 27th-August 21st: planning meetings as needed before and after programming
Responsibilities
Facilitate theater workshops centered on ensemble-building, improvisation, and collaborative creation.
Collaborate with other teaching artists to introduce students to core theater concepts and language, including stage presence, monologue work, and character exploration.
Support students in using their bodies, voices, and imagination to tell stories and build theatrical worlds.
Incorporate Theatre of the Oppressed and other participatory theater techniques into unit plans and performance practices.
Help guide a devising process where students collaboratively develop material throughout the intensive.
Collaborate with the dance teaching artist and vocal coach to integrate movement, music, and performance techniques.
Foster a supportive, inclusive, and youth-centered creative environment.
Participate in planning and reflection with the teaching team.
Co-create Theater of the Oppressed professional development activities in collaboration with the Director of Education for other Teaching Artists, post-programming.
Program Support & Logistics:
Support with daily program operations such as setting up and resetting the space
Assist with student check-in and attendance
Help monitor student safety and well-being throughout the day
Support snack and lunch transitions as needed
Work collaboratively with staff to ensure a smooth and welcoming daily flow
Ideal Qualifications
Experience working as a Teaching Artist with high school youth
Background in Theatre of the Oppressed, devised theater, applied theater, improvisation, or socially engaged performance practices
Strong facilitation and ensemble-building skills
Experience guiding collaborative creative processes with high school youth
Interest in helping youth connect art-making with community, storytelling, and self-expression
Ability to collaborate with artists from multiple disciplines (dance, music, theater)
Commitment to equity, inclusion, and youth empowerment
Compensation
Starting at $35/hour, depending on experience
Paid hours include program time, planning time, and coordination with the teaching team
