About the Artist:

Imani Mason Jordan is an interdisciplinary writer, editor, artist and curator interested in performance and poetics. Their doctoral research focuses on racial capitalism and carceral logics through the work of Stuart Hall. In their poetic practice, Mason Jordan uses improvisation, minimalist technique and black study to choreograph language. They are also one half of the artist duo repertoire.

About the Open Rehearsal Artist-in-Residence Program:

Over the next three years, the ARC will welcome artists who consider their making a mode of thought, and scholars whose thinking emerges from a practice, all experimenting with what research can look like when it is made rather than written.

Each residency is shaped with the artist, following where their work and interests lead, unfolding across performances, workshops, and conversations on process. Residents return over three years, part of a shared project that holds them in each other's orbit and in that of practitioners across campus. In 2029, a festival gathers the AIRs, working groups, and the wider communities.
