These engaging talks offer a rare look into the creative heartbeat of live performance. Through candid\, behind-the-scenes conversations\, Q will explore the many dimensions of artistic production—from choreography and collaboration to music\, visual arts\, fundraising\, and grant writing. \nAll events take place at the Sedona Performing Arts Center (995 Upper Red Rock Loop Rd\, Sedona\, AZ)\, where conversations\, performances\, and artist encounters will inspire and ignite. \nDon’t miss this groundbreaking celebration of dance\, music\, and storytelling—set in the heart of Sedona’s stunning red rock landscape.
