About Rocky Mountain Artists’ Safety Alliance We seek to promote awareness and systems that respect and protect the human in the art – to foster safe places and practices so that artists may safely endeavor to do dangerous things.
Three years ago, we gathered with artists from throughout the Rocky Mountain Region and began a conversation with the #NotInOurHouse movement of Chicago. Realizing that our region features an incredibly diverse range of artists, creators, and production teams, we spent years attempting to create a new document that better suits the producing entities within our region. Our current document and practices are the result of input from a large and experienced group of theatre producers and artists. It is meant to be flexible and to accommodate as many types and styles of theatre organizations of diverse structures, budgets, and environments as possible.
Currently, producing entities throughout Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Nevada are testing and providing feedback on this document. We welcome you to join this artistic community endeavor to improve our industry.
