artist in residence

residency

From 3 months up to a year, as an Artist in Residence at your organization I use a variety of creative modalities within Somatic Scribing - a social art that surfaces latent wisdom of bodies and minds in a social field. Unlike a consultant or outside evaluator, the Artist in Residence supports an organization or team in applying the gaze of learning and evaluation through under-utilized modalities of knowledge production such as story, metaphor, body wisdom, and ecological listening.

Artistry

While the artistic process will be led by the Artist, staff are invited to engage in group sensemaking with creativity, curiosity and collaboration.

Stories brought to life with symbols, metaphors and visual thinking are proven to have deeper, longer lasting cognitive impact than text. That's because a story told in image engages your listener from the the part of their brain that looks for connections, not proofs.

To learn together through an artistic process rather than a process of assessment is to practice strategic growth and evaluation that has relational coherence and centers wellness in the collective and the wider eco-social body.
