Trustfall is a new performance series that features artists and composer-performers experimenting in sound and music. Artists may share work at any stage of development. This series aim to build a nurturing creative community by creating a space of trust and generosity between artists and foster a more intimate connection between art and audiences. Following each performance is a short talk back and casual gathering. We will announce our venue (it’s in downtown Manhattan) and dates in June! Stay tuned…
Special thanks to Melinda Faylor for meeting and consulting on this series, and who came up with the idea of a “trust fall",” hence the series name!
