Madison Page & Friends: this is for the living

In Real Life: Studio provides a glimpse into the working processes of artists. Throughout the fall a select group of artists utilizes spaces in the museum to convene and rehearse new material, including theater, dance, music, and performance. While some artists and collectives will simply discuss or workshop material, others will produce a new project from rehearsal to final performance. 

this is for the living is a two part process made in collaboration with Samantha Mohr, Chelsea Rector, and Caitlin Adams and examines the relationship between audience and practitioner in the making of dance. Drawing from authentic movement, contemplative practice, and contemporary dance, the studio becomes a laboratory to investigate the performance and rehearsal process in real time.
