GLOBAL PERFORMANCE STUDIO
A Program for Cultural Listening & Exchange + Process & Performance
The Global Performance Studio , led by Tom Pearson, is dedicated to creating work through collaboration, developing new site-specific and experiential performances, and speaking and engaging with communities around the world. GPS cultivates opportunities for Tom and members of the Third Rail Projects community to work with local artists and to foster diplomacy through shared practice, dialogue, and community building–all within a framework of cultural listening and peer-to-peer artist exchange. In addition, GPS seeks to create a network among the artists it works with to share resources, opportunities, residencies, and methodologies.
