Registration opens February 9th!
No audition is necessary.

Early-bird tuition is $1,000 if you register before March 6th.

  • Tuition is $1,000 for all Minnesota residents.

  • After March 7th, Institute tuition is $1,200 for non-Minnesota residents.

  • Registration deadline is Friday, March 20th!

  • No audition is necessary. Since Performing Power is framework and not a technique, we can work with performers in any genre of musical storytelling, and at any point in their artistic journey. Participants are accepted in the order received.

  • A $200 non-refundable deposit is due with the registration form.

  • The balance of the tuition is due on June 5th.

  • This deposit is returned if the program is full.

  • The Institute is held on the campus of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

  • We are working with the University of Minnesota to provide apartment-style dormitory housing on and/or near campus will be available to us this year. Let us know if you are interested in this option. (Approximate cost is $70/night for a single room.)
