Fieldwork Chicago presents a works-in-process sharing of work as the culmination of our Fall Fieldwork session. Fieldwork is a process that supports artists developing new work. At each session, artists show works-in-progress and exchange feedback in a format designed to support each artist's unique vision with insightful critiques that favor close observation over quick judgments. Fieldwork creates a space for artists to take risks while also leaving room to fail. Weekly online meetings provide a structure for the creative process. Fieldwork is open to artists working in all disciplines. Past participants have shared choreography, poetry, animation, music, monologues, group/directorial work, short fiction, performance art, film, improvisation, and more.
