The Watermill Center, the interdisciplinary laboratory for the arts and humanities located in Water Mill, NY, is pleased to welcome its first group of fall 2016 Artists-in-Residency; Álvaro Restrepo and his dance troupe EL COLEGIO DEL CUERPO- eCdC (Columbia), Noel McKenna (Australia), Tori Wrånes (Norway) and Zeinab Shahidi Marnani (Iran). From September 6 – 26, 2016, each artist will use their time at Watermill to create collaborative works that critically investigate, challenge and extend their practice.

The Watermill Center’s year-round Residency Program provides artists with the opportunity to utilize The Center’s art collection, library, archives, and grounds, as a home and a workshop to create and develop their own work. Resident artists are chosen by a distinguished, international selection committee composed of artist peers, journalists, academics, and other cultural leaders from all disciplines. The current selection committee included Kristy Edwards, Jay Sanders, Alanna Heiss, John Jasperse and Robert Wilson, among others.

Álvaro Restrepo is a renowned choreographer and dancer, and founder of EL COLEGIO DEL CUERPO- eCdC- The School of the Body. For his residency at Watermill, the Cartegna-based artist will develop a performance/ritual with members of the Shinnecock Nation that’s based on a massive ceremony the artist created in 2010 in his native country to honor the victims of internal displacement: INXILE The Trail of Tears.  Throughout September Álvaro Restrepo, Marie France Delieuvin (co founder of eCdC), and the eight dancers of La Compañia Cuerpo de Indias will interact with participants of the Shinnecock community, as well as other members of the Hamptons’ population, through workshops, masterclasses and open rehearsals. On Sunday, September 18th at 4:00pm at The Watermill Center, El Colegio del Cuerpo will perform their piece titled INXILE with members of the Shinnecock Nation. Additional partnering organizations on the East End include The Parrish Art Museum, LongHouse Reserve, Southampton Arts Center, as well as the Peconic Landing and Peconic Community School.
