Questions to Consider
Would you like to be supported and challenged in your artistic practice by connecting with a small, diverse group of other inter-disciplinary, body-based artists?
Do you aim for your artistic process to be continually evolving and challenged?
Are you able to direct and motivate your own artistic practice?
Do you identify as working between disciplines, and/or are in the process of expanding your arts practice into other disciplines?
Does your work make connections between or maintain parallel practices?
As an artist are you unattached to any one particular set of skills or training?
Are you curious about the possibilities of engaging your body in a daily practice without knowing the outcome of your investigations?
Are you discontent with irregular or unfocused practice?
Do you feel your work could benefit from a focused period of unstructured, daily, body-based practice time in a private studio space?
Do you value daily artistic inquiry as creativity in and of itself rather than only as a means to a creative product?
In your arts practice, do you wish to cultivate a fearless desire to fail: as an integral part of the creative process, and/or to glean a deeper understanding of your artistic inquiry?
