Fall 2023 Friday Sessions: A Personal Project Residency

Space is open to 8 participants
5 Fridays sessions (Five zoom group sessions): Dates are spaced out for project time and breathing room: OCT 20 & 27, NOV 10 & 17, DEC 1
11am EST-2pm EST with breaks.
FIVE group presentation sessions as a group + one private 45 minute 1:1 with me (total of 6 sessions)
Final day to register is October 10.

Each week will be about sharing and working through our own unique personal projects: the project you've been dreaming to do and don't know how to begin, the one you're putting off, the one you've put aside, the one you can't seem to finish or even ideate fully. We will plan, plot, listen, talk, take notes, pivot, and adapt as we see what it is our projects need to keep moving with and through them.

I'll offer optional open prompts, readings and suggest resources each week for extra inspiration so our time together will not simply provide accountability, but the encouragement to keep giving you the give momentum and confidence to move through and explore your dream project more deeply with personal feedback from me and the group! This is a rigorous and challenging 5 week course but the growth on the other side is phenomenal.

What it is: This will be an at-home residency/workshop to provide space and place to focus, unpack, nudge, and direct the project you would like to focused on or complete with guidance and support.

In our first session we'll have our first introductions and discuss and shape a direction for your project or just some dreams or goals you'd like to realize in our time together. Each week I'll give you a prompt and some ways to begin to explore and in workshop we'll show our work and ideas in process and I'll lead sessions where you'll get and give valuable feedback to one another.

This program is set up for a small group of artists working in different disciplines to work alongside one another in group sessions, creating a trustworthy community in which to observe, listen and meet each artist where they are. Most importantly, we'll inspire further work/play by seeing each other through our ideas, rough patches and breakthroughs, and produce work toward our goals. We'll focus deeply on seeing and keep a journal throughout. We'll also discuss ways writing can influence and add meaning to our work.

We'll have a dedicated Slack group to help us along and provide community.

We'll also set up a 45 minute 1:1 session with me to begin to discuss the what's and how's, begin to outline our month together and discover more about what your project could be or to track your progress. Many opt to do this before workshop begins but we can also schedule during.
We will meet via Zoom.
