Fidget Forum Series (2011- current)

The Fidget Forum series (previously ‘Discourse at thefidget space’) is a free series initiated in 2011 which brings together a diverse group of people from all walks of life to discuss art and philosophy in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Over the years the topics of study have ranged from the intersection between contemporary thought and choreography, film and its relationship to the virtual, tracking the concept of resonance through electronic music history, a dance studies reading group, and many more. Historically, political unrest and social crises have often been grappled with through the arts and philosophy. We believe that bringing regular people from our community (hair dressers, scientists, moms, dads, software engineers, chefs…) together with artists and philosophers can provide a crucial space for deep thinking and political awakening.

Process Project (2009- current)

Process Project is a series that Fidget initiated in June 2009 that places our creative process in a performative situation, and hinges on intimate and in-depth dialogue with audiences before and after each event. It’s not a work, but rather a new way of working. Multiple improvisational performances take place (at Fidget Space) over the course of one week—the show is never the same twice. We gather our materials and approach each performance situation as a frame that re-orients and gives new definition to our work. Click here to view Kat Sullivan’s review of Process Project.
