Blog - Long Distance / Online Collaboration

On Friday, January 22nd, NET hosted a Community Forum: Beginning to Heal Through Connection. We heard from a group of our Spring 2020 NET/TEN Remote Connection Mini-Grants recipients about the activities they embarked on last year and then opened up the discussion to dialogue with one another.

Marcella Trowbridge, Artistic Director of ARTFARM (Middletown, CT), traveled to Sri Lanka to work with artists and Sri Lankan natives, Ruwanthie de Chikera, Jayampathi Guruge, and Stages Theatre Group. Together they researched and explored the development of new works in communities with minority/majority dynamics utilizing physical theater techniques that cross verbal barriers.

Heather Barfield of The VORTEX (Austin, TX) will travel to New York City to meet with Dylan James Amick and Julia Katz of Critical Point Theatre. During their time together they will investigate internet security protocols, CCTV, livestreaming, and hacking for implementation in mutual upcoming theatrical productions titled Privacy Settings: A Promethean Tale.
