workshops

Our workshops provide a constructive environment for people to become actively involved in exploring art and science, learning from others while contributing their own knowledge and experiences to make a richer experience for all the participants. We see each workshop as an artistic experiment and a scientific investigation at once, the participants are both creators and researchers along with ourselves.

“Cleary and Connolly have developed something quite unique, a truly collaborative art practice. They work with musicians, dancers, writers, teachers and ultimately the audience to produce an art that is generous in its intention and inclusive in its execution. By forcing you to be part of it, the artists point out that you are not a passive receiver of an art and never should be.”
