“Art is an issue of Adventure”
-Alfred North Whitehead

A three day group residency aimed towards artists creating in non traditional performance spaces and places. Over the three days we will explore different ways of creating performances in a variety of settings. The goal of this residency will not primarily be the creation of new work to bring home but rather new methods of creation to bring home. During the three days we want to cultivate a sense of experimentation with novel ways of creating work for the outdoors and unusual spaces.

Suitable for artists with some performance experience who are intrigued by the artistic potential of the outdoors and non traditional spaces.

Preferable arrival on the evening of July 27th.
