My Town
Jack Ferver and Jeremy Jacob are in residence in the EMPAC Theater to develop new material for the commissioned work My Town. Across two residencies, they develop scenography and lighting, and integrate Ferver’s choreography with projected video developed by Jacob. The residencies also support experimentation with the work’s dramaturgy.
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.
