In choreographer and theater director Jack Ferver’s My Town, the small town is a portal that provides special access into questions of self-expression and collective agency. Set loosely in an area of upstate New York, My Town considers the queer experience outside urban metropoles, and the ways physical geography marks the interior terrains of the mind.
ABOUT EMPAC
Artist production residencies are the heart of the curatorial program at EMPAC. Much of the work that we commission and present is developed in collaboration with our curatorial and production staff during artist residencies. Artists benefit from unparalleled access to EMPAC's technological infrastructure for making their work, which includes dedicated support from an expert team of video, audio, stage, and production engineers and technicians. Residencies are often planned years in advance to afford time for extended engagement between artists and EMPAC staff. The number of residencies, as well as the structure and length of each, is tailored in conversations with the individual artist and for the specific project.
