2024 MPA 1 on 1

MPA 1 on 1 is an opportunity for MPA ensembles to receive commentary from top consultants in the activity. The consultants we picked for this role were specifically chosen based on their current body of work in the activity. MPA will subsidize one virtual consultation for each group in the circuit this season. 

In addition, this year directors have the option to request additional consulations with our consultants but will be billed $75 per extra consultation. The process to order and submit materials for the extra consultations will be the same as for the first one that's included in dues, but MPA will invoice your group for the extra costs.

Process:

  • The director of the group will fill out the Google form below.
  • They will then be contacted with a link to a Google Drive folder.
  • Ensembles will submit a video of their full performance or other files they want reviewed to the Google Drive folder by noon on Monday.
  • Consultants will have the middle of the week to watch, process, evaluate and record commentary for the show. Consultants are encouraged to work outside of specific captions. This is not meant to be a critique based on the WGI judging criteria/sheets. Our consultants can respond with performance feedback, design ideas, and general impressions of your program like they are on your staff and can cross captions.
  • Ensembles will receive commentary by noon Friday of the week they submitted (submission deadline of noon Monday for the group). This will ensure commentary is fresh and relevant to the level of the ensemble at that moment of the season.

Note: if the noon Monday deadline for that week is missed, we will still submit but cannot guarantee a return of feedback by that Friday. The consultant will complete the feedback as soon as possible after that.

The last possible submission for this season is noon Monday, April 1, with consultants’ responses due by noon Friday, April 5.

Consultants:

We are proud to welcome the following consultants (please read their linked bios):

Additonal notes:

  • We will use the Google form below to collect director contact info along with your preferred consultant selection and a second choice.
  • Once you fill out the Google form, a Google Drive folder will be created and shared within 24 hours for your submission.
  • Please feel free to share any notes you have with the consultant in your Google Drive folder, along with your video submission. This can be original costume sketches, design collaboration documents, original music, etc.  
  • Please read the bio for each consultant above to help you choose the best fit for your ensemble.
  • We will ask for a first and second choice of consultant in case there's an unexpected schedule change for one of our consultants and a group's first choice isn't available. 
  • If you choose to do additional consultations with these consultants beyond the one included in your dues, please fill out the form again for every extra consultation. You will then be billed $75 for every extra consultation.

Please contact MPA President Vlad Boz (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) with questions.

The last possible submission for this season is noon Monday, April 1, with consultants’ responses due by noon Friday, April 5. We recommend completing this in early to mid-March if you plan to implement design adjustments to your show.
