Reciprocity Collaborative

Directed by Ilya Vidrin, the Reciprocity Collaborative is committed to bringing together creative professionals through research, performance, and community engagement. From lecture-performances to process-based labs, we aim to challenge disciplinary boundaries of music, dance, and visual arts to create environments for multi-media negotiation, exceeding what individual artists could create on their own. Over the past five years, collaborators have included musicians, dancers, choreographers, composers, visual artists, social practice artists, cinematographers, and creative technologists. 

Partner organizations have included Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, the MIT Media Lab, AREA Gallery (Boston), Boston Center for the Arts, Windhover Performing Arts Center, DePaul University, National Parks Service, New Museum (NYC), Combined Jewish Philanthropies, Boston Foundation, and Harvard University. In engaging with collaborative, process-based work, our mission is to explore essential questions of ethical social practice, to create opportunities for interdisciplinary dialogue, and to build bridges in the artistic community and beyond.
