Annual Report of Year One
We are delighted with how the Island Connect II project is progressing, and are excited to see how year two takes shape now that the artists have all completed Springlab in Tenerife.
Now our annual report from year one of the project is complete. Take a look at it here:
Welcome to the Sea Hotel
The Sea Hotel is a new Island Connect production, created through our Co-Creation residency in 2024. Six artists from across Europe came together to explore co-creation methodologies and see what would happen. This show is the result!
Work began on Vis, Croatia at the Springlab, then moved to BIRCA, Bornholm for their residency, and has now returned to Vis, Croatia for a final week of production and a premiere on the island.
