About this project

EXPERIMENT 1: TABOO CONVERSATIONS

The Distillery, a Raleigh based art collective, is raising $5,000 four our first Experiment for the 2011-12 Season.  This season we will be exploring the word CONVERSATION and the many different aspects of what that word means today.  Experiment 1: Taboo Conversations is an EXPLORATION and DISTILLATION of the things we can't or won't talk about.

WHO ARE WE:

The Collective is made up of all sorts of creative types: theatre folk, a comic book artist, photographers, musicians, creative writers & dancers. We envision that this process starts with The Collective asking a good question and using their unique talents to answer it. What would two creative writers, a director, a comic book artist, and a painter create together if given the topic taboo conversations?  As our process unfolds, we'll post our progress here!

YOUR MONEY HELPS WITH:

Artistic materials: as needed for the experiment

Marketing/Print materials: postcards, posters, advertisement, playbills, artist statements

Space: $900/month rent which includes utilities 

Stipends: paying the artists for their hard work

THANK YOU!

By backing our project, you bring an exciting, new artistic experience to the Raleigh community.  We cannot do this without you!
