Atlantic Center for the Arts Master Artist-in-Residence; Deborah Hay
http://atlanticcenterforthearts.org/master-artist/debora-hay/

Alantic Center for the Arts is an artists’ retreat where serious emerging artists in all disciplines come to ask questions about their work to advance their process, and ultimately to become better practitioners of their chosen form of expression. The Master Artist is integral to this process. Each residency session is three-weeks in length and includes three Master Artists of different artistic disciplines. Located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, the 70-acre pine and palmetto wooded environment at ACA is just four miles from the east coast beaches of Florida, just north of the Canaveral National Seashore. The facility features six architecturally award-winning discipline specific studios, administrative offices, a visitor center and gallery, three Master Artists cottages, 28 private Associate dorm rooms and a dining / commons building. For more information regarding ACA’s Master Artist-in-Residence program and the ACA facilities: www.atlanticcenterforthearts.org.

VENICE BIENNALE DANCE 2018
Cullberg Ballet will be presented at Teatro alle Tese, Venice, on June 30. Figure a Sea was created for 21 dancers and premiered at Dansens Hus in Stockholm in September 2015. Audiences and reviewers around the world have consistently described Figure a Sea as a masterpiece. “Figure a Sea is a meditation on seeing. Seeing music, fleeting incidences and synchronicities, and the unnamable. It is a space for seeing oneself seeing,” says Deborah Hay.
