CYCLE 9 AUDREY RESIDENTS
Welcome 2023 New Georges Audrey Residents!
In which 10 resident artists will work on 7 new-play projects over the remainder of 2023 and way on into 2024. Setting out individually or in an affiliated artist collaboration, they are: Steph Del Rosso and Caitlin Ryan O’Connell; Justice Hehir and Joan Sergay; Charlene Jean; abigail jean-baptiste; Krista Knight; Genevieve Simon and Katherine Wilkinson; and Emerie Snyder.
The residencies are named for Audrey Bernfield, Susan’s mom, an innovative mentor and of course a great supporter of our company. Open to New Georges affiliated artists, the Audrey Residencies are our primary program for generating and developing new works. In year-long project-based residencies, residents spend up to 3 weeks of space in The Room over the course of the year working on their new play or project in a process of their own devising; meet monthly with the full resident cohort for a meal and conversation; and have access to whatever additional resources we can muster as needs emerge.
Big thanks to former residents Liza Birkenmeier, Winter Miller, and Sanaz B. Tennant, who joined Susan, Jaynie, and Deadria in one long inspiring day of conversations with potential residents, hearing all their cool ideas (honestly: it’s our favorite day of the year). Here are the artists and projects our panelists chose:
