THE COLLABORATIVE PROJECT - a Multi-Disciplinary Retreat
Facilitated by Hanna Satterlee
At the Wildheart Center for Embodiment and Performance in Wallkill NY
 
 
*****EVENT POSTPONED- stay tuned for future dates!***


“The Collaborative Project” retreat fosters artists who are interested in mixed-media collaboration.

Our focus will not be on making the best piece you have ever made, but on working with other interdisciplinary artists to co-create a new performance work in a short but focused amount of time. The retreat cohort will be split into two groups, based on your application answers, to balance the variety of genres represented in each group. You will be told your group’s theme before arriving to help inspire you to pack any materials, equipment or costumes that you are excited to work with!
During the retreat, groups will be given generative compositional exercises and prompts for creative sessions. Each artist will begin by creating their own seed idea, which will be workshopped by the collective to determine the best way to fit the pieces into a whole. Your singing solo may become a group piece with a backup chorus. Your dance idea may become transformed by another artist into the set design.
We are joining together to experiment with collaboration, working together, and inspiring one another. This retreat honors inclusivity, cooperation and a dedication to joy. Open to anyone looking to expand, share, and meld their ideas within a collaboratively led creative process.
Bringing your own skills and toolbox, join a cohort of dedicated artists to practice the art of mixed-media collaboration and see what arises! We will spend time both creating solo pieces, as well as working together with new collaborators across the group. Each day will feature an accessible group warm-up, solo and group creative work time, delicious meals, and revitalizing activities. The retreat will culminate in an informal performance for friends and fans on the final day.
