Artistic Practice in an Artist-led Organization

Dear Community,


After last season's major undertaking of celebrating Dancing While Black's 5th Anniversay AND orchestrating a large-scale performance piece on the Bronx River, this season we are taking a break from producing. Instead, we are channeling efforts into establishing more mechanisms for sustainable practice. This includes spending more time immersed in ARTISTIC practice. After all, 

Angela's Pulse is an artist-led organization! 


The Angela's Pulse team is group of values-aligned artists. We develop our artistic voices and sharpen our skills both within Angela's Pulse and in collaboration with other folks. This past month, Paloma taught a four-week workshop in Pratt Institute's graduate performance studies program and was a guest lecturer in Princeton University's dance program. "Talking about my vision and sharing my creative processes is a way for me to learn - about the impact of my work, about the folks in the room and about what might be next," Paloma said. "It's an exchange."

Stay tuned for more details about new creative collaborations and how our artistic ventures strengthen Angela's Pulse.

Love and light,
The Angela's Pulse Team

FROM THE FISHTRAP

"With the river as a collaborator, we can hold these resources as sacred. We can reestablish an embodied connection to the water and practice being in living conversation with these forces. Reclamation is an activated call, an imperative."
-Paloma McGregor on developing Building a Better Fishtrap on the Bronx River, Interview in BOMB Magazine, June 2018
