The Beit Midrash is a space for action and contemplation. Action and contemplation about the delicate connective tissues of what emerges from them: conversation, emotion, sweat, reading. In practice, it is an invitation to be present and sensitive within one’s own artistic existence. It will manifest through exercises and actions, behaviors, motions, and thought, with the expression “feeling at home” serving as a starting point and foundation for an inspirational space. Teachers-friends will join the Beit Midrash for collaboration and discussion.
