Please come by Headlong on Friday, June 3rd for Headlong Performance Institute Fellow David Guzman's Treeing event. Drop in any time between noon and 6pm.
David's work with urban ecology is playful, activating, and refreshingly reverent. Mixing acute observational practices with urgency and imagination, David's expansive work can feel to me like an imaginary collaboration between Charles Darwin and Bread and Puppet's Peter Schulman.

Help us stay Embodied, Engaged and Safe!
The 2022 HPI program begins last week and we could use your help in keeping our artist Fellows safe. We are implementing a rigorous protocol that includes lots of testing, which will allow us to finally work together in a studio. After two years of virtual practice and social distancing for outdoor workshops, we are so excited to be moving in a studio with one another again! But to do this safely requires lots of testing which is expensive.
With your support, we can make this happen!
1. Contribute to our Covid-19 Test Donation Drive by dropping off a Covid-19 rapid test to Headlong Studios - Tuesday-Thursday between 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Or:
2. Donate to our HPI Covid-19 Test Fund here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=X7DHE57P28DJE.
We promise to keep each other safe while making work that matters to you and our communities.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
