“Utterly original work. It doesn’t look like anything you’ve ever seen before, nor can you imagine thinking it up.”

LA: CLASS WITH FAYE
SUNDAY NIGHT SHAKE + OPEN DANCE
Sunday October 25th, 5pm - 8pm
>> class+shake from 5pm - 7pm
>> open dance 7pm - 8pm (come and go as you please)
Part perceptual loosening, part dance party, part exorcism. Faye will lead the group in a sensitizing physical and vocal warm-up, then guide us into an hour of durational shaking followed by an after-score. Unfix your face. Unstick your stuck. Scream, Cry, Howl, Feel the messy flesh mystery that you are.
Class-goers can then stick around for open dance. Dance, hang, stretch, and share some hydrating beverages (BYO electrolytes, soda water etc).
DIMENSIONALIZED
Wednesday October 28th, 10:30am - 12:30pm
Moving from frozen to felt, Driscoll will lead the group through a sensorial and accumulative awakening and articulation of the infinite micro and macro planes of the body. Presence-ing into and filling out our spiraling, shimmering, 360 degree forms, we will sensitize beyond our frontal, presentational flatness into our own and one another's ever-expanding dimensionality.

A conversation between Faye Driscoll and Tim Etchells in The Guardian
“Rooted in techniques and understandings from choreography itself, Driscoll’s work is also dance by way of Butoh and performance art. At the same time, it stands as a nuanced and profoundly impactful wordless reflection on the state of the world, the climate and our tangled place in it.”
— Tim Etchells, The Guardian

Together, Faye Driscoll and Macarena Gómez-Barris are the recipients of the 2026-27 Cynthia Hazen Polsky and Leon Polsky Rome Prize and will be Rome Prize Fellows in the Environmental Arts and Humanities at the American Academy in Rome
Environmental Arts + Humanities
What is the purpose of art and collaborative practice in times of environmental ruination? What modes of affect, address, engagement, experimentation and documentation offer ways to reckon with the conditions of environmental loss, damage, and broken ecologies at the heart of the colonial anthropocene? How can we imagine, perform and embody biodiverse histories of human, and more than human ecologies of resurgence and repair? These questions guide the work that writer and scholar Macarena Gómez-Barris will research and prepare in collaboration with artist and choreographer Faye Driscoll for the duration of the Rome Prize residency. The fellowship affords a focus on Gómez-Barris' and Driscoll's individual creative writing, performance and research projects, as well as time to produce a co-written interdisciplinary collaboration.
Thank you to the American Academy in Rome and congratulations to all the winners!
