Performance Art Research Ljubljana (PARL) 
August 21-31, 2026

parl.si/


In the lovely Ljubljana, Slovenia, we (Molly Thomas, Samantha Johns, Brittany Williams, Ross Jakubsen, and myself) had the opportunity to work on developing Can You Feel The Pull? in a studio for five hours a day for ten days and get feedback from 2-3 Respondents eight of those days. A total of 14 Respondents offered us feedback, and it was an exciting (and exhausting) challenge to try and navigate all of that varied feedback. 
parl.si/parl-team/

We were the 4th artists/group of artists from the United States they've had in 8 years with 6 artists or groups a year. 

We made 8 different 20-minute performances and additional variations on two of those:

 1.) First Attempt (made over 2 days, structured/composed, shown to Zala and Bojan)
2.) Slight Variation of First attempt and Today We’re Going To Make This Spell Impro with nuggets (Today we’re going to make this spell that will help get glowing skin, curse Pete Hegseth, etc…shown to Anita, Gregor, and Ziga)
3.) Brittany has Dream We Die/The Nina Impro (shown to Nina and Katarina)
4.) The Nina Impro Repeated (shown to Josef and Leja)
5.) The Nina Outlined by G with Sam trying to Kill us (shown to Uros and Andrea)
6.) No Longer A Dream and All Will Die, But Now Make Perfect Show Impro (shown to Anita and Mateja)
7.) Magic Like Line, Outlined by G, and then also the Perfection Group Therapy Impro (shown to Ziga, Rok and Alida)
8.) I Think We Need and Tupelo Is Our Mentor Outlined by G a little Gooey (shown to Jurij and Bojan)
9.) I Think We Need and Tupelo Is Our Mentor Very Gooey (shown to work in progress aud)

ArtHouse Jersey International Artist Lock-In

185 international artists of all disciplines applied and 12 were chosen. I was one of those lucky 12 to spend a week at the Isle of Jersey headquarters of ArtHouse Jersey.  The multi-disciplinary residency was facilitated by internationally renowned artists Sue Hill (https://wildworks.org.uk/) and Francesca Duncan (https://www.punchdrunk.com/). We woke up, ate breakfast, warmed up, made art, ate lunch, made art, ate dinner, talked about art (or played with fire), and then did it all again the next day. 
You can read more about the residency here:  https://www.arthousejersey.je/lock-ins.
