Sundance Institute Selects Six Mid-Career Directors for Theatre Directors Retreat in Arles, France Mark Brokaw | Juliette Carillo | Anne Kauffman | Ralph B. Pe a | Leigh Silverman | Les Waters
One of 10 Summer Residency Programs the Institute Leads for Independent Artists in Theatre and Film
Posted Jul 22, 2014
New York, NY Sundance Institute and the LUMA Foundation today announced that the two organizations will again collaborate to host the second Sundance Institute | LUMA Foundation Theatre Directors Retreat in Arles, France, July 29 through August 11. The Retreat is one of 10 residential programs hosted by Sundance Institute this summer, collectively representing 15 weeks of support and mentorship for promising independent artists in theatre and film from the United States and around the world.
Under the supervision of Theatre Program Artistic Director Philip Himberg, Producing Director Christopher Hibma and Program Associate Anne Kauffman, the Retreat is the only theatre director-centered residency of its kind. The Retreat complements other initiatives of the Theatre Program by providing resources to mid-career theatre directors and grew out of a need expressed by directors for an immersive forum in which to exchange ideas and best practices with peers; review and discuss new work, and participate in intensive discussions led by experienced arts professionals.
Philip Himberg, Artistic Director of the Sundance Institute Theatre Program, said, The Directors Retreat offers a truly rare opportunity for theatre directors to focus inward, to investigate, research and plan new projects, and to reinvigorate their creative spirits. This also comprises a unique experience for these stage artists to be in dialogue with their peers, and to engage in rigorous conversation about the contemporary field.
