DORF

Thank you and Caroline Drew () for featuring DORF’s inaugural Fishbowl Residency!

Fishbowl Residency invites artists to create in real time, transforming our gallery into a transparent studio where visitors can witness experimentation, collaboration, risk-taking, and discovery as they unfold.

Today, June resident Andie Flores () will be working with longtime collaborator Sam Mayer () from 12:30–2:30 PM as they develop new performance-based work through costuming, character-building, writing, and improvisation.

DORF is open today and every Saturday from 12–5 PM. Stop by, peek behind the scenes, and experience the often-unseen process behind performance.
