MEET v10

A meeting of artists through improvisation and performance.

MEET is an improvisational series where artists of different performing art disciplines can meet each other through practice. The night of we will be drawing names from 3 “hats” each focusing on different “spaces”: the sonic space, the visual space, and the embodiment space. There is some room to cross over spaces (for those pan-disciplinary artists out there), but we ask each participating artist to pick the primary space they want to focus on and drop their name in. We will then create groupings by picking the names from the hats to create ensembles (duos, trios, quartets, etc.).

Participants can assume the following:

The MEET space is a place for improvisation and performance. You/we are meant to be seen/heard. (Please plan accordingly)
It’s a place to share space and time with each other and MEET each other through performance practices.
Embodiment, sonic, and visual spaces are to be interpreted as you wish. These are focal points for performers to anchor themselves, but not complete restraints.

Embodiment is centered on expression and form through the body. Dancers, theater artists, movers, and other folks who use their body in their performance practice.

Sonic is centered on the spaces we hear. Musicians, tinkerers, and folks who make noise and silence need apply.

Visual is centered on spaces that we see. Video artists, lighting designers, visual artists, installation artists, and folks who give us color and form apply here.

All participants must show up 1 hour before we start to address any technical setup (yes, even plugging in an amp is technical). There will be no time between sets to set up your stuff. Have it prepared ahead of time.
