"I Choose Life' Talent Auditions

Are you a spoken word poet whose words can heal? A contemporary movement artist who tells stories through dance? A musician, craftsman, or visual creator ready to use your gift for a world-class cause?

The SpreadYourHeart Organization, in collaboration with The Rebound Coach, Dallas Kohen, is officially casting for the "I Choose Life" Community Impact Gala taking place this October. This prestigious evening is dedicated to empowering survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and abuse through the transformative power of creative arts.

We are not hosting a standard talent show. We are constructing an elite artistic showcase. We are hunting for 19 elite visionary acts to enter our multi-round studio audition process this August. Finalists will receive dedicated, high-production multimedia spotlights produced by the STSN network throughout the entire month of September, skyrocketing your digital footprint before taking the main stage in October.

To protect the integrity of the production, all physical auditions are closed to the general public and conducted in private recording studios before our panel of guest judges.
