PRODUCING
Aubrey was a producer and reporter for WFIU Bloomington (an NPR affiliate) where she produced content for the Arts Department.
While with the Motherline Story Project, she produced the Motherline Story Project Podcast. Aubrey also produces the Hijabi Diaries for the Openhearted Campaign, for whom she is also the Project Manager. The Hijabi Diaries is an award-winning podcast showcasing stories from the lives of Muslim women who wear hijab. In November 2016 Aubrey produced her first rally (featuring music, poetry, and speakers) with MiddleWay House to bring the community of Bloomington, IN (her hometown) together to demonstrate against violence in public places.
Aubrey co-produced the first ever Ivy Tech Story Series with Ivy Tech Theater Artistic Director and Dean of Fine Arts, Paul Daily. The series consisted of four installments, with each night of curated, live true-storytelling focusing on a theme/issue of importance to the Bloomington community. The theme was explored in an unbiased way through the experiences of the storytellers, laid out for the live audiences in the form of an original story. Themes included "Immigrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers," "Reproductive Rights," "On Race," and "On Work."

PEACEKEEPING & THE ARTS
In May of 2018, Aubrey was officially awarded Rotary International's Global Grant Scholarship, which will allow her to pursue her graduate degree in Arts & Cultural Management at King's College in London, England.
This interdisciplinary arts management degree will also allow Aubrey to take classes from the schools of War Studies and Global Affairs, and to focus her research and thesis on the use of the arts as a tool for peacekeeping and improving foreign relations.
Aubrey hopes to one day create a central organization to promote, organize, and fund long-term artistic cross-cultural collaboration between performing arts institutions all over the world. She hopes that by creating and sustaining better relationships between countries through their artists, international peace can be more sustainable even as political regimes change and resources wax and wane.

"Having worked as a director of film, television, commercials, and theater, for over 35 years,
I have to say that working with Aubrey Seader has been like working with a very seasoned
professional. Each day that I have worked with Aubrey, she comes to work with great enthusiasm,
insight, and most notability, her very own uniqueness."
