8. Then…1998 VisionIntoArt began as a school project in 1998, with performances held in dance studios. VIA won an interdisciplinary grant from Juilliard which funded our first public performance at Lincoln Center Institute. The following year VIA went on to perform at key note performances at the Council on Foundation, North Carolina School for the Arts and Dickinson College.
9. Now…2008 VIA has performed over fifty trans-media performances in festivals, halls, museums, theaters and clubs across United States, Europe, Eastern Europe, and Mexico. VIA has commissioned over twenty new works from composers since 1999, and has performed over one hundred works by emerging and established composers of our day. VIA has additionally commissioned five poets, four visual artists, six filmmakers, six choreographers, four directors, five writers, three lighting designers, three sound designers, and has worked with over sixty musicians, actors and dancers as guests to the VIA core group, creating a truly interdisciplinary community.

13. Challenges and Benefits Benefits: Collaboration is strength in numbers and ideas (as a unit, when you click, you can be greater than the sum of your parts). In the very best situations, it can result in high learning trajectories: when collaborating with someone in or outside your field, you are learning new perspective--new techniques. Optimize this time by letting go of the ego. Challenges: Knowing when to hold on to an idea and when to let go. Defining roles, combined goals and values. Not being afraid to constantly redefine these. Finding grants and performance opportunities. Though this is opening up, many presenters are fans of the one performer marketing opportunities: the ‘genius’ approach.

57. Collaboration is an intensely difficult dance between personal integrity, socialist belief in the conviction of everyone's work, and artistic vision to create a unified final performance from the multi layered and healthily competing strains of a collective's attempt to tell a tale. It is a journey that almost all the time, is completely worth it. Be open and remain receptive, and enjoy the ride.
