Come see and hear the emergent seeds of new Regenerative Arts performances in the making by the 2025 Hogfish artists-in-residence!
During the Hogfish regenerative arts residency, each Hogfish artist-in-residence is invited to develop the seed of an idea that is regenerative to them personally, their community, and their neck of the woods. They are provided with time, space, and support to help cultivate the seed of their idea and to replenish the soil of their mind, body, and spirit so that their creative seed may be planted in fertile soil. Support modalities offered include nature baths, energy healing, Alexander Technique, performance enhancement hypnosis, shamanic healing, improvisation, play, voice-work, and group processing and response work.
At the end of their residency, artists are invited to present a short excerpt of their work-in-progress, on this evening titled the "Regenerative Arts Seed Project". They will share a seed of their idea to the public, followed by a facilitated Q&A with you the audience. Join us and cross-pollinate with your own viewpoint to help bring the next generation of Regenerative Arts seeds to germination!

About Hogfish
Hogfish heals the division of our times by cultivating a new genre of Regenerative Arts - stories and artistic experiences that restore the connections between mind and body, individual and community, people and planet. The 501(c)(3) non-profit production company and residency works both from the top-down and bottom-up. From the top-down, the production company adapts classics and creates new works that center traditionally under-represented voices. From the bottom-up, the residency supports artists-in-residence to create Regenerative Arts projects from their own perspectives.
We are named after the fish with a snout like a pig that lives its life as both sexes. It surpasses our pre-conceived notions and invites us into a lived experience of the world that is authentic, bigger, and better. That is Hogfish.
