“Whether or not the Hatchery seeks to become a model for the field, there is every potential for it to do so in generous, insightful and expansive ways. The simple act of reflection—of conducting a live (life!) experiment to see what revising a model of work looks like and how it can and can’t be done—possesses a profound resonance for the shape of the artist/presenter relationships, and the questions the project poses ruffles other modes of art work as well. There will never be a perfect way of working, or any one way to imagine and shape a collaboration, but the opportunity to embrace its particular chaos, the electrifying confusion of creation, is sometimes foundation enough.”
— Jennifer Krasinski, writer

“Support for the creation of new dance is, by many accounts, in crisis. Dancemakers note a lack of adequate time and resources to develop new work, a shortage of suitable space, and dwindling audiences that understand and appreciate contemporary dance. Without support and resources to fully develop new work, the work itself suffers, further diminishing audiences for dance and perpetuating a cycle of decline.” Alliance of Artists Communities
