HERE (Kristin Marting, Founding Artistic Director) will welcome Bengali theater-maker Shayok Misha Chowdhury, playwright and director Normandy Sherwood, and instrumentalist gamin and sound & visual composer Sachiyo Takahashi as new members of the HERE Artist Residency Program (HARP). Created in 1999, HARP provides resident artists with commission funds, developmental support, career planning, and a full production, all within a collaborative environment of peers working across artistic disciplines, including theatre, dance, music, puppetry, visual art, and new media. With up to $50,000 in a cash grant and more than $75,000 in space, equipment, and services over each two to three year residency, HARP offers significant long-term support that is deeply rooted in creating an artist-centric process that is tailored to the needs of each resident artist. Since HARP’s founding, HERE has supported the work and career development of 165 lead artists and hundreds of their collaborators. Press contact: John Wyszniewski/Everyman Agency (347/416-3881)...
