The Air Camp Summer Artist Exchange is a series of individual and collaborative residencies and retreats, hosted by Ponderosa’s visiting artists — and you. Take some breathing space, weave an individual structure, and find refuge in weird times of uncertainty.
The summer month of July is opened up again for visitors for retreats and residencies to create your work around our gardens and our studios. During this time, there will also be communal classes and events, instigating new possibilities to use our infrastructure and by inviting collective processes for inclusion and embodied dialogue. With contributions from Stephanie Maher, Caitlin Fisher, Teo Vlad, Yoav Admoni, Asaf Aharonson, Peter Pleyer, and Alicia Grant. Further informations and sign up can be found here: |

Early-bird deadline: 15. June · Admission: by application
As all of our planning is on hold right now due to COVID-19, we are still waiting and hoping the best for our COLOR BLOCK program in July and August. We are going to adjust our plans due to the instructions and rules by the (international) authorities in time. Please check back on our website for updates, and email with questions. The application form is online now and can be found here!
From late July to mid August 2020, the Color Block series will hopefully present four weeks of People-of-Color-centered divergent programming at Ponderosa: A space held by and created for people of color to work, play, and experiment around performance, improvisation and activism, hosted by Joy Mariama Smith. We aim to collectively and collaboratively focus on perseverance, resistance, freedom and healing. The programming that forms the Color Block series will provide opportunities for various explorations of radical kinship, will highlight intersectional politics, and will create spaces for those of us on the periphery. |

There will be a series of Garden Club events in August and September. Garden Club is an ongoing series of research-based, low-key, and mostly easy-going events at Ponderosa, based around the garden — exploring the ongoing interplay of ecology, food, somatics, and landscape that spins around the garden.
These events are a relaxed and emergent ongoing process, and they have their own newsletter — sign up if you’re interested in staying up-to-date about it all. They are overseen by Shelley Etkin, Leo Kay, Stephanie Maher, and Leonardo Cocucci. |

P.O.R.C.H: Art & PERM (Performance Environmental Resonance Module) |
P.O.R.C.H.
|
|
Early-bird deadline: 1. July| More information coming soon!
Admission: by application · Level: aspiring professionals The Art & PERM Module introduces the garden as an intimate theater- a source of renewal and longevity for all art makers.It is a time to deconstruct hindering preconceptions. Queering, renaming, revising, reimagining — all of this has a place in the conversation and amongst the environment that is ours to explore and invent. We address our current crisis as a possible reflection for resilience and the performative focus and the ways in which somatic practices can overlay with ecological & performance-making dynamics. It invites the creation of knowledge through felt experience: Participants will address the performative in practical, anatomical, political and imaginal elements of worlds — including worlds expanded beyond human.
P.O.R.C.H. Art & Perm Module provides access to a performative commitment, constructive feedback, and artistic exchange all in the stunning natural beauty of the Brandenburg countryside.The module will be guided by Asaf Aharonson, Shelley Etkin, Stephanie Maher, Peter Pleyer, Angela Schubot, Robert Steijn, Libken e.V. and special guests. We establish group awareness and feedback tools, and decipher performance materials and their necessity. |

2.–29. November, 2020:
P.O.R.C.H. Dramaturgy Module |
P.O.R.C.H. · SOMATICS
|
|
Early-bird deadline: 1. August | Information coming soon!
Admission: by application · Level: aspiring professionals As art-makers and supporters, we are in the field of professional pretending. We find ourselves navigating without blueprints or reliable maps. We embark on many journeys with self-built compasses and overheard rumours about the stars. Our accumulated, precarious piles of knowledge are composed through years of random encounters, web searches and gates opened by others.
It is often the case that we stumble upon the dramaturgical role, a clearing located on the crossroad of many paths. We come from dance, theatre, theory, visual arts, literature, we bring our heritage into our practice as we craft our eyes, ears and mouths into working tools. The P.O.R.C.H. Dramaturgy Module is a space of reflection and experimentation around what dramaturgy is. We wish to foster individual approaches through a communal gathering of colleagues. Facilitated by Yoav Admoni, Stephanie Maher, Peter Pleyer, Petra Poelzl, Annika Stadler, Sharon Zuckerman Weiser and guests. |
