ARTIST WORKSHOPS
TUNING IN TO THOUGHT AND PRACTICE
Artist Workshops are open-level classes and engagements with visiting artists including choreographers, dancers, performers, and members of leading international and national companies held in our Pavilion Theater and Dance Barn, on the PS21 grounds, and in the community.
Led by contemporary dance, theater, music, and international circus luminaries, PATHWAYS Artist Workshops are free or pay-as-you-wish, ongoing, and informal. Inaugurated in 2019 as Movement Without Borders, the program has hosted leading downtown practitioners and theater luminaries including Miguel Gutierrez, Michelle Boulé, David Neumann, Liz Gerring, Wendy Whelan, Randall Jaynes, Amy Spencer, Hilary Clark, Mina Nishimura, Edisa Weeks, and Grace Osborne, among others. Recent seasons have included free workshops with members of the Paul Taylor Dance Company, Mark Morris Dance Group, dancers of Alessandro Sciarroni’s Save the Last Dance for Me, artists of QDance and Qudis Onikeku (Nigeria), Amoukanama Circus (Guinea), Susie Ibarra, the Resistance Revival Chorus, and Art Move Concept (France).

ABOUT PATHWAYS
MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND PARTICIPATORY, PATHWAYS IS OUR SERIES OF WORKSHOPS, CLASSES, INSTALLATIONS, AND IMMERSIVE PERFORMANCES OFFERED BEYOND THE PS21 MAIN STAGE—ACROSS OUR CAMPUS, IN NATURE, AND IN THE COMMUNITY.
PATHWAYS resides at the intersection of nature and the arts, presenting site-specific performances and encounters embedded in and responsive to the PS21 landscape, theater, and beyond. Throughout our region, PATHWAYS brings visionary international artists directly to communities with programs in schools, libraries, city parks, village streets, farms, assisted living facilities, and parking lots, all free of charge or at low cost. Creative placemaking at its core, PATHWAYS fosters collaboration between PS21 and more than two dozen regional and community groups, including the Town of Chatham, sustaining cultural life and strengthening communities.
