Berklee College of Music Faculty in Residence!

Welcome Artists Robin Ginenthal & Rosey Lee to the residency!

Robin and Rosey are spending a week at the residency during their brief break from teaching at Berklee College of Music.

They will be collaborating on a dance and composition project: Shake Your Soul: Collaborative Composition and Dance Project

In this project, Berklee professors Robin Ginenthal and Rosey Lee will collaborate in the composition of six pieces based on the six fluid actions and the basic attributes of the Shake Your Soul: The Yoga of Dance movement repertoire. These include Synovial (joints), Intercellular, Arterial (blood from the heart), Venous (blood to the heart), Lymph, and Cerebrospinal fluids. Robin brings her understanding and practice of the movement repertoire as well as the appropriate music qualities that support and enhance the experience of the dancer. Rosey brings her knowledge and experience in classical composition as well as her expertise in the music and instruments of China and Japan.

Welcome artist Mark Thomas

We are looking forward to your paintings while in micro-residency for 3 days!

Mark Thomas started creating art when he was 8 years old. In high school he took art classes. Mark has been an artist in the Becoming Independent Art program since 2007. Mark often sketches in his sketchbook in great detail before beginning a work. He seems to care deeply about his work and meticul

ously focuses on every detail. He enthusiastically attends classes weekly in photography, painting, mosaics and ceramics and his work has evolved beautifully with his studies. In photography class he has worked with toy plastic cameras and has learned the process of making prints in a black and white darkroom.
