Join the Yoggs For “Game To Play” - A Trillium Arts Summer Workshop series

Workshop Dates: Aug 1-3 and Aug 8-10

Performance: Sunday, August 10

Location: The Red Barn Studio at Odonata Farm

Fee: $30 or pay what you can; free for artists adversely impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Artists of all disciplines in WNC are invited to take part in “Game to Play” where artists will play, create and explore together over two weekends of facilitated, multidisciplinary collaboration. **

Drawing from their 20+ year creative practice, The Yoggs, Taryn Griggs and Chris Yon (recipients of Trillium’s 2024 North Carolina Choreographic Fellowship) will introduce assignments, games, scores and improvisations to generate material that culminates in a performance for an invited audience. The Yoggs are excited to engage and create with artists of all disciplines and work together to build a community. Some meals are provided, and a limited number of camp sites are available.

The resulting collaborative creation will incorporate movement, but not necessarily be "dance." Inspired by chance operations and the working dynamics of luminaries such as Merce Cunningham, John Cage and Robert Rauschenberg, be ready to embrace the unexpected! The end result will likely be a "Happening “for both artists and audiences alike.

“Game to Play” will be performed on August 10 for invited guests, followed by a meet the artists reception.

The workshop is limited to a max of 12 participants so advance registration is required. The registration deadline is June 23! Learn more and sign up at: https://www.trilliumartsnc.org/events-1****
