Fieldwork Mixed Disciplinary Workgroup for Independent Artists

Several Dancers Core presents the Fall 2008 session of Fieldwork, a creative workshop series that brings artists together to show their developing works and exchange feedback on a weekly basis. Fieldwork sessions are designed for artists working in various disciplines including Dance, Theater, and Writing.

The Fieldwork method originated in New York over 22 years ago, and Several Dancers Core has been offering Fieldwork workshops for the Houston arts community since 1992. The workshops will provide support, structure, and community to help artists immerse themselves fully in their creative work. The feedback method reveals how each piece is perceived by others and provides detailed information that helps artists hone their vision. By focusing on what's happening in the work and how those choices shape the work, Fieldwork supports autonomy and authorship of each artist.

The facilitator for Fall 2008 will be dancer and choreographer, jhon r. stronks. Jhon is director of the Houston Metropolitan Dance Company's Houston Met Too, and his choreography was recognized by Buffy awards in June 2008.

The session begins Sunday, September 14 and continues weekly through Sunday, November 9. The informal showcase will be held on Sunday, November 16. For those interested in learning more about Fieldwork before registering, you may attend the first session on Sunday, September 14, free of charge.
