Third Rail Projects

Video Clips and Media

Third Rail Projects, led by Zach Morris, Tom Pearson, and Jennine Willett, is dedicated to bringing art to the public through an array of media. Its mission is to provide a central organizational hub that enables its artistic directors and affiliated artists to: develop accessible projects and integrate them into the broader public sphere; engage local, national, and international communities; utilize art as a vehicle for positive social change; further the forms in which they work; and provide education through performance and residency programs.

Third Rail Projects’ workshops are crafted to give students a glimpse into the creative process and the administrative strategies of a working collaborative group. Our technique and choreography workshops emphasize the tools and methods we employ to create our award-winning contemporary dance and site-specific works. Our administration/career-development classes provided practical, on-the-street wisdom and up-to-date information, giving emerging artists a head-start as they tackle the realities of working in the contemporary dance arena. Additionally, Third Rail’s artists are able to offer a rich diversity of more specialized workshops drawn from their own well-regarded and professionally recognized artistic practices and individual areas of expertise. Third Rail’s offerings can be presented as single master classes or as several in-depth workshops.
