Headlong Performance Institute

Headlong Performance Institute is a supported artist residency and performance training program at Headlong Studios in South Philadelphia. HPI Fellows embark on a 14-week journey of developing individual practice and process for making performance. The program focuses on methods of research for creating performance worlds and languages that are unique to each maker. Individual processes and collaboration are both nurtured so that we can learn from one another’s insights and discoveries. HPI convenes “communities of inquiry” around your work every week so that it blossoms over time, leading you from the known to the unknown. HPI offers time, space, mentorship, techniques, and resources for you to develop, deepen, discover, and explore your own artistic practice. The program is for dancers, actors, movers, directors, writers, designers, choreographers, performance artists, physical theater creators, and all artists interested in live performance.
