Community Engagement:
​
I work within communities as a resident artist to:
-
create and lead movement workshops
-
offer lecture/demonstrations
-
facilitate and direct evening length performances
-
self-produce performances and/or events
-
build tiny houses and/or stage spaces
Each art residency is designed specific to the community I work within and may include any or all of the activities listed above. Residencies can range from one day to a year depending on the project and the needs of each community. Contracts are created specific to individual partnerships and are available upon inquiry.
​
As an instigator and director, I encourage participants to take risks, be curious, work both collectively and individually and trust in their intellect while developing and honing new skills. Eschewing the notion of high-brow versus low-brow, I instead welcome participation in an open, yet directed, experience-sharing process. What we create together is original work reflective of each community.
