Artists


Performing arts residencies

Offering performance artists a residency for rest is as valuable as offering space for work. We recognize that rest can be the basis for quality art. Hyperbolic production has been normalized. Exhaustion is currency. We want to contradict this by making it possible to give lodging to emptiness. We want to give artists time and space to restore themselves, a regenerative period. We see artist’s ceaseless cultivation of answers that bring dynamism, complexity, and enrichment to reality. Inspiration to create may emerge; it is not a condition of the residency.
