Embodying Process
with Amber Imrie
This course is for artists who want to workshop projects and reinvigorate their creative practice, in a supportive critically engaged environment. Through this non-hierarchical workshop, artists exchange critical supportive feedback to develop new, vulnerable, or ongoing projects. Participants get weekly exercises and materials to help unstick what's stuck. Our feedback sessions are structured on a foundation of compassion - with the common goal to understand each other - in order to offer meaningful insights, relevant knowledge, and useful resources.
The classes includes - guided questions, tools and exercises, group discussions, exercises, and weekly breakout sessions wherein you get deep personal feedback from their peers. Artists can expect creative exercises and project deadlines to help prompt progress and deep introspection into their research & practice processes.
This course is one of our most popular for returning students and culminates in an online art exhibition and talk/ discussion series.
Embodying Process meets for 7 weeks, after which attending artists have time to complete the projects workshopped in class before submitting them for a group online culminating project; specifics TBD from our class discussions.
