RESIDENCIES
We believe that relationships are the lifeblood of culture and the foundation upon which our work can thrive. We use restorative practices to preserve, expand, and deepen these relationships and to resolve the conflicts inherent in interpersonal work so that we may use conflict as seeds of opportunity.
EP has had opportunities to design residency experiences that are unique to the needs of the company and its artists. Support has allowed for choreographic research, dreaming, development and creation of dance-based work by reaching beyond traditional limitations of time, space and place.
EP’s most recent creative residency in partnership with National Center for Choreography Akron (Akron, Ohio) sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and New England Foundation for the Arts took place on the big island of Hawaii. The artists: Oluwatoyin Sogunro aka Toyin, K’niin Abbrey, Rama Mahesh Hall, Nicole Klaymoon Meena Murugesan, and d. Sablea Grimes (pictured).
