If so… Orchard of Pomegranates is a place for you.
what is ORCHARD of POMEGRANATES?
Orchard of Pomegranates is a Feminist space, inviting like-minded creatives of all disciplines to collaborate, to be held, to be heard and to listen. We work in a multidisciplinary way with our dreams, creative writing, movement, breath, voice, visual arts and with Deep Listening practices inspired by composer Pauline Oliveros.
At the Orchard, you will get valuable feedback from a community of artists and musicians like yourself. It is a safe space to be artistically raw and daring. We offer a supportive environment to bring yourself & your art. Your vulnerability beckons – Nourish your creative soul!
At the Orchard of Pomegranates, we collaborate with cutting-edge artists and musicians of various disciplines to offer you a wide pallet of approaches to and inspire your creative practice. We choose to invite and highlight POC, LGBTQ+, Women and mothers. We work with the body in a variety of ways (in movement and sound) and in this practice, we make a point of representing body-diversity.
In 2022, 15 amazing artists are gathering to support YOUR CREATIVE PRACTICE. We hope you’ll join us!
Ayelet Rose Gottlieb, the Orchard’s founder, is an improviser, composer, vocalist, multi-disciplinary artist and mother of three. Her Jazz-rooted improvisatory approach informs the offerings here, that will enrich a seasoned musician, and open the minds and hearts of non-musician creatives with a willingness to play.
Testimonials
“Gottlieb created “Orchard of Pomegranates” as a platform for teaching, discussion, listening sessions and a safe-space for musical adventure and connectedness. Online, it has gained in reach and significance during these times of musical isolation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participant/faculty such as Jay Clayton, Theo Bleckmann, Fay Victor, Sofìa Rei, Clarice Assad and Katie Bull foster a relaxed but intensive atmosphere of holistic learning and performance.”
