Chop Wood Carry Water

Chop Wood Carry Water Lo-Fi residency in NW Illinois’ Driftless Region is for thinkers and makers, people who need time away (but not too far) on quiet yet abundantly living land, to think, make, write, build, muse and experiment for a modest cost. 

Applications Due for 2023 Season on April 16

This low residency allows for physical distancing as well as the space for people to choose interaction when desired, allowing focus on your practice and process.

This is not an art residency. We do not expect you to be an artist. We are interested in a larger definition of what it means to think, make, build and collaborate with land, other humans and living beings. We believe edges and categories of what it means to be creative and how we live in this world are meant to be explored and that this is essential for a new coming together within ourselves and between ourselves.

Conversation, moving, studying, walking, biking, kayaking, writing, reading, furniture making, weaving, print making, performing, filming, painting, building, on-site installation, sculpture, ceramics, animation, soil work, dancing, experimentation with and processing of land-based materials have figured largely with past residents.

All genders, sexual orientations, religious beliefs, races, and ethnicities are welcome as Chop Wood Carry Water residents. Applications are to assess if Chop Wood Carry Water lo-fi land-based residency is a good fit for you. There is no jurying of your past work.

Voice Moove

Beginning February 26
Four Fourth Sundays, 3-5pm
at Color Club, 4146 N Elston Ave, Chicago
Co-facilitated by Elaine Lemieux and Sara Zalek

RSVP

Each two hour workshop focuses on vocal technique and physical presence. We begin by warming up to connect with our breath and bodies. Through gentle repetition of vowels, consonants, bubbling, and babbling, we expand our vocal range.  Listening to one another, playfully passing sound and movement, we find our unique songs and create compositions together.

There is a lot to discover and share!

No previous experience necessary, all ages and abilities encouraged. There is a stairway at the indoor entrance of the building, approximately fifteen stairs with handrails.

$15-20 sliding scale per class
