This week, Festival Director Anne Morris talks with Heather Hartley and Phil Reynolds, the founders of Trillium Arts, a residency center outside of Asheville, NC, that supports artists through a variety of residency and creative exchange programs. They moved to North Carolina a few years ago, from Chicago, where both had extensive experience working in the performing arts sector. Most recently Heather was the executive director of See Chicago Dance, a service and advocacy organization, and Phil was executive director of Chicago Dancers United from 2016 to 2019 and executive director of the Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago for 17 years. We’ll talk about their hopes for Trillium to be a greenhouse for artists, the need for statewide advocacy for dance, and the richness of the dance landscape in North Carolina.

"In Process" is sponsored by Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist's Performing Arts Medicine Clinic: WakeHealth.edu/PerformingArtsMed
