This is an opportunity for potential artists new to the project to become familiar with the text and with the layout.

The orientation sessions are essential so don't be late.

Everyone will be expected to provide feedback on the process.

Note: all workshops and sessions will involve opportunity for input from all participants. Asterion as a creative process requires active involvement and encourages interdisciplinary exploration

 

 

 

 

 

The participants may camp on site. Food will be provided. Everyone will be expected to participate in food preparation and cleanup. There will be opportunity for swimming and campfires. There is no electricity at the site except by portable generator (mainly to run the pump for showers). There will be water available at all times. Safety considerations are paramount. There are portable toilets on site. See below for a list of what to bring.

To register, or if you have questions, simply send an email to astinfo@patria.org telling us about yourself and your interests and which workshop(s) you would like to attend. We will be posting notices on the schedule above as workshops fill up.
