RESIDENCIES
Some of the most meaningful work we’ve done has happened when we’ve had the chance to stay awhile. Residencies allow us to move beyond a single performance—to settle into a place, build relationships, create, collaborate, and let the music become part of the life happening around us.
DIFFERENT PLACES.
DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES.
A residency can take many forms. It might mean a series of performances over several days or weeks, an artist-in-residence program with time devoted to creating new work, or an engagement that combines concerts with workshops, community events, collaboration, or other ways of connecting with the people around us.
We’re especially drawn to arrangements that allow us to become part of a place for a little while rather than simply passing through. The specifics can be shaped around the setting, the community, and what each host hopes to create.
WHY RESIDENCIES?
We’ve built much of our musical life around movement, but some of our richest experiences have come from having enough time to truly arrive. Over the years, artist residencies and extended performance engagements have given us space to make new work, form lasting relationships, and experience a place from the inside rather than through the window of a tour van.
That depth changes the work. Audiences become familiar faces. Conversations continue from one day to the next. A performance can grow into something larger—a collaboration, a workshop, a new song, a gathering, or simply a deeper sense of connection between artist and place.
A RESIDENCY MIGHT INCLUDE
Multiple performances over several days or weeks · time and space for creating new work · workshops or educational programs · community gatherings · collaborative projects · artist talks or conversations · other possibilities shaped around the host, setting, and community
