How to Get Involved

The Summer Sessions are intense engagements with contributing artists, residency fellows, and visiting lecturers & performers exchanging on a weekly basis. Weekends are designed around hosting guests and are full of activities. Providing the following protocols, any person may visit or get involved with Mildred’s Lane during the program season (1 May to 31 October) in one of the following ways:


Enroll in a Residency Session

Residency sessions are intensive, 1–3 week research-based and project-based engagements held between May and October. As a session fellow, you will be in residence alongside project collaborators, guest lecturers and performers, and Resident-Artists-in-Complexity during our dynamic program season.


Attend an Event

We host numerous events throughout the program season that are free and open to the public — please see our social media, or follow our email newsletter to be informed of upcoming events!

Note: We require all visitors to sign our Hold Harmless Agreement or request a copy of the respective institutional liability waiver or other school-sanctioned off-campus activities waiver for our records.

SOCIAL SATURDAYS

Meals are a signature art form of Mildred’s Lane. Sharing meals together is a performative, imaginative, and social phenomenon, embodying our ethos of art practice. Through hosting countless meals over the years, the “workstyle” of Digestion Choreography has evolved to characterize this dynamic creative labor, which encompasses much more than just cooking.

Social Saturday is an event series that has been taking place for almost two decades, typically encompassing a late-afternoon guest lecture or presentation and a dinner. This summer we will host a handful of ticketed Social Saturday dinners to support our summer residency program. Introducing a sliding-scale ticket structure ($40–$80), attendance will directly support the honoraria of Resident Artists-in-Complexity, session collaborators, and visiting artists. 

Very limited tickets are now available for the following Social Saturday dates:
