Performance group offers workshop at UW-Stevens Point
A University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point alumnus who is part of a performance group in Chicago will help offer a workshop at the university on Friday, Dec. 2.
The EveryPeople Workshop (EPW), led by Mikel Patrick Avery, a 2008 graduate and the workshop’s artistic director, and Nicholas Gajewski, EPW’s associate artistic director, will give a presentation from 1:30–3:15 p.m. in Room 136 of the Noel Fine Arts Center, 1800 Portage St. Artists of all disciplines are invited to participate at no cost.
An interdisciplinary performance group focused on artistic collaboration of diverse audiences and communities, EPW is fostering artistic development among Chicago’s promising young artists by providing a workshop and performance space and the funding to help transform Chicago’s artistic future. In two years the group has produced three albums, commissioned over 60 compositions, prompted collaborations from over 20 artists, created an original score, made four short films and performed nearly 50 live concerts. In total, EPW has helped raise more than $45,000 for other Chicago-based programs and services.
