artivist PERFORMANCE
Art as Action’s annual multi-disciplinary performances are created using our one-of-a-kind collaborative framework, The Artivist Process. Each year, the show is created and performed by multiple artists around a common theme (past show themes include: body mind mystery, TENSION, both/and and many more.)
The Artivist Process invites collaboration, sparks new ways of thinking, and provides an outlet for creativity and self-expression for a wide variety of performers. Artists learn from each other’s expertise, experiment with cross-genre ideas and works, and co-design the culminating show.
This unique intensity of collaboration cultivates diversity, promotes high levels of groundbreaking artistry and results in powerful impact on artists and audience members.
Art as Action productions to date include our fifteen evening-length performances presented at Broomfield Auditorium, Dairy Arts Center, work|space Denver, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Theater and The Packing House Center for the Arts.
“Art as Action’s performance of body mind mystery is a collection of diverse pieces, chiefly collaborations. The unifying factor of the various artistic expressions and collaborations was a kind of joy: the type that is won, not given, and is richly layered with emotions and states of being that may seem to be joy’s opposite.” –Jane Perle, Writer, Presenting Denver (read full review here)
