James Clements to Co-Curate NYU Applied Theatre Convergence

What Will the Neighbors Say? has been invited to co-curate and co-produce the NYU Spring 2022 Applied Theater Convergence from May 12th-15th 2022. Co-Artistic Directors Sam Hood Adrain and James Clements will represent the Neighbors, while NYU Assistant Arts Professor Mauricio Salgado will produce on behalf of NYU Tisch School of the Arts. The Convergence is entitled "A New Intimacy: Touch, Trust and Techniques in the Arts."

"A New Intimacy" will be a combination of workshops, panel discussions and gatherings. The Convergence seeks to explore how educators, artists and citizens can create spaces that are radically transparent and equitable, centered on active and consistent consent and prioritize safety as a pathway to artistic freedom. Participating artists, workshop leaders and panelists will be announced in the coming weeks, and are drawn from the worlds of performance, education, applied theater and community arts.
