WORKSession In Four Walls explores the possibilities created by artists sharing and commingling their individual processes in a salon-like community. All four artists are multidisciplinary and experiment with the intersection of the image with the body. Sharing a common vocabulary of dance, they explore different modalities within movement by combining it with visual art, film, video, sound, installation, and language to various effects. For this project, each artist takes a different wall to display their visual media with scheduled performances during the exhibition period, allowing new juxtapositions and unexpected connections to arise.
Our mission, from its earliest days, has been to nurture experimental movement-based artists, and bring their works to life. NDA has an explicit commitment to equity and inclusion of historically marginalized Black, Brown, and queer innovators. We provide space, residencies, and performance opportunities to help artists cultivate relationships, develop their work, and share their inventions with the world.
“Thank you thank you and thank you to everyone who made this residency (Black Artist Space to Create) possible. These past two weeks have been a blessing! Not only have I been able to deepen my own personal/artistic practices, I was given the space to connect with people that I love! I was given space to reflect on love, and to prepare for what this next year (2021) will bring! Shout out to New Dance Alliance, Modern Accord Depot and Angie Pittman for the time, the space, and opportunity! I am forever grateful! It felt like a good meal, with dessert!”
