Name of Applicant: Award Amount: Category: Average Score: <br />Greg Camphire $2,000 Artist 65.4 — 4'h <br />Artist's Description of Project: <br />My project intends to feature the city in two location -specific performances featuring my original <br />music as the soundtrack to people, places, cultures, and historical narratives in Santa Ana. My <br />musical approach unites acoustic and electronic instruments that interact with the surrounding <br />environment of each performance area. My skills as a writer also help to infuse my music with a <br />storytelling sensibility, opening new windows through which residents can experience their <br />surroundings. I intend to highlight how Santa Ana residents are global citizens, connected to many <br />of the world's art forms and cultures right here in our city. <br />Artist is based in Santa Ana and proposes to use grant funds for a project in Wards 2, 5, and 6. <br />Artist's proposed use of funds: <br />Funds would be used to purchase supplies and resources specific to the completion of this project. <br />These would include music equipment, especially sound amplification gear suitable to produce <br />live outdoor performances, as well as specific technology such as MIDI Sprout. A venue stipend <br />will be included for the Heritage Museum, while additional performer honorariums will be provided <br />to my potential collaborators for the Alex Odeh performance at the Santa Ana Public Library. <br />Answers to Supplemental Questions: <br />Question 1: Please describe any additional City of Santa Ana resources required for your <br />project (permits, public space, licenses etc.) that you are required to obtain? <br />The majority of these performances will be staged on private property owned by organizations or <br />individuals. The only exception is the Alex Odeh performance on the lawn of the Santa Ana Public <br />Library. The library's employees have informed me that this may only require the proper insurance <br />liability, and I am working with them to ensure that those needs will be met if/when the <br />performances takes place in 2019. <br />Question 2: Is this a new or existing program/project? <br />This is a new project, intended to highlight the people, places, and histories of Santa Ana. <br />However, I have previous experience in staging similar performances that combine original music <br />with multimedia productions, including film soundtracks, parades, and theatrical variety shows. <br />Question 3: How will the proposed project be presented or shared with the public? Will the <br />art display, event or performance be free and accessible to the public? <br />All performances in this proposed series will be free and accessible to the public, with dedicated <br />bilingual outreach to the surrounding neighborhoods of each performance. Photos and recorded <br />video of the performances will also be made available for online viewing following the live events. <br />Greg Camphire <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
