2. Performance for Visual Artists Workshop.

This project responds to the great interest among visual artists in creating temporal pieces that are extensions of their work and that may be unsuitable for theater. A rudimentary knowledge of communicating visual ideas in time greatly helps to clarify and generate imaginative works in the context of performance for an audience. The workshop is based on S.D. Paich's lifetime of experience in working in traditional, non-traditional and non-theater situations, as well as working with visual artists as performers and nurturing diverse and multidisciplinary talent.
