CYCLE 10 AUDREY RESIDENTS
12 resident artists working on 8 new-play projects over the course of the year! Setting out individually or in a collaboration, they are: Erin Courtney; Kallan Dana; Jeanne Dorsey; Kedian Keohan and Minna Lee; Arika Larson; Deneen Reynolds-Knott and Arminda Thomas; Jeana Scotti and Tara Elliott; and Normandy Sherwood and Nikki Calonge.
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 working on their 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 prior residents Deepa Purohit and Emerie Snyder, who joined Susan, Jaynie, Sonya, and Deadria for two inspiring conversation sessions with potential residents, hearing all their very cool ideas (honestly: it’s our favorite day of the year).
