Company Description

TATANKA is a Multimedia Performance Arts & Education initiative. We seek performance artists, musicians, and singer-songwriters. We celebrate, integrate and model diversity, equality, and inclusivity and provide a platform for artists from all global locations and walks of life.

Inclusivity Disclaimer (read, think, apply)

As we begin our member search, potential issues between different groups or individuals could eventually arise, which is antithetic to our mission. Like any job, discrimination in any regard is unacceptable. For example, to paraphrase, the U.S. National Archives EEO Policy Statement asserts: I am committed to equal opportunity for everyone regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or transgender status), age, disability, marital status, political affiliation, et al. So, if any of the above give you pause, for any reason, please reconsider. We are to learn, support and grow together, period, so any obstruction to our shared objectives will be removed. For example, if you are from a country that has a conflict with a band mate’s nationality, please do not apply. Or if you believe your god is the only god, don’t apply. Or if you feel more patriotic or moral than others (I don’t care if you are β€œblue” or β€œred”), don’t bother. Together we will ensure that all band members and staff work and live in an environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. We are adults and expected to behave accordingly.

For clarification, all contracts will be β€œat-will” meaning anyone can be terminated for any reason at any time, if necessary.

Mission

Our mission is to help meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goals through artistic expression and cultural exchange via live performances and events. Find out more about us at www.tatanka.site.

Role Description

This is a full-time salaried (with health insurance, etc.) on-site (to model our ethic, and provide content for streaming, members and staff will co-habitate - housing, utilities, meals, transportation, etc. included) role for International Performance Artists, Musicians, and Singer-Songwriters. As part of our team, you will be responsible for delivering captivating performances, showcasing your musical talents, engaging with audiences, and educating staff. You will rehearse, compose/record music, and collaborate with other artists to create memorable and impactful experiences. This role requires inclusivity, versatility, adaptability, and the ability to entertain and connect with diverse audiences and staff.

Live Streaming

Events including performances, rehearsals, special events as well as day-to-day 24/7 activities will be streamed live, one of thirteen revenue streams. If you are camera-shy, TATANKA is not for you, but privacy and boundaries will be strictly respected at all times.

Qualifications

Experience and proficiency as a musician, performance artist and/or singer
Strong stage presence and the ability to innovatively captivate audiences
Ability to compose and/or improvise music
Excellent communication, teamwork and collaboration skills - Multilingual is a BONUS!
Flexibility and adaptability to different performance styles and genres
Experience in live performances is a plus, but touring is not feasible, logistically, so we'll host our shows and other artists' shows in-house at our venue (non-alcoholic, all-ages)
Knowledge of different musical instruments and musical theories
