Cal-laboratory Kitchen brings together artists from Latvia, Macedonia, Mexico, Romania, Great Britain, and the United States for a two-week residency to pursue a cultural exchange in choreographic processes. Organized by Professor Allyson Green, Chair of Theatre and Dance, choreographers will be in residence at the University of California, San Diego where they will work in improvisation and choreographic research with professional dancers and graduate students from San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. The choreographers will also collaborate with visual artists, composers and musicians from Great Britain, Mexico, and San Diego to explore interdisciplinary collaborative processes. The mission for the Cal-laboratory Kitchen is to provide a rejuvenating haven for process and exchange, rather than finished product. It takes time for good art to simmer; the Cal-laboratory Kitchen is a haven for meaningful cross-cultural exchange, gathering the ingredients for the development of artistic projects over time.
