Director: Tim Whalen

Dancers: Olivia Duryea and Evan Boersma
Triollium ACE Fellowship awardees are selected by invitation.
Available to established Chicago area choreographers and dancemakers, awardees receive the rare opportunity of uninterrupted time and space to create their next great work, along a variety of supportive financial benefits. The length of the residency is one to two weeks, and the choreographer can be joined by 3-5 dancers/collaborators. There is no expectation of producing any specific work or material. However, during the ACE Fellowship, artists are invited to engage with the regional community in a variety of ways. During the residency, there may be a Meet the Artists event, or other opportunities for the Chicago-based artists to interact and exchange time and talent with members of the WNC (Western North Carolina) Artist Roster
This residency was used as research and development for the ongoing project matesforlife.co. Exploring conservation and dance.
The music by Son Lux blends electronic and human fragility into soundscapes that feel like they are breaking apart and rebuilding themselves. Much like nature does to heal.

“Xavier Núñez was selected as the 2024 ACE Fellow based on his tremendous artistic merit and the quality of a truly unique dance film project about barn owls that he and his collaborators will advance while here at Trillium,” states Phil Reynolds, Trillium Arts President. Trillium is delighted to support this innovative work that aligns dance with conservation.
