Healing the divisions, trauma, and wounds is not a small matter. Safe spaces need to be co-created where people can grow in their own self-awareness, find inspiration, and feel supported to participate in meaningful experiences that lead to deeper trust and mutual understanding.
Below are the current Immergent projects in production.
A two-year, collaborative project that will illuminate the full history in tandem with the opening of Fort Worth’s Heritage Park. This immersive, interactive project will span several years and incorporate Opus: and Waking the Oracle engagements.
Immergent and the Earl E. Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing at the University of Minnesota are joining forces to lift up wellbeing practices to connect, inspire, re-imagine, and heal. Blending innovative approaches to the arts, education, spirituality, and science, this partnership will also evaluate and disseminate results, thus seeding a broader movement.
Stepping into a community to facilitate groups that foster compassion-centered whole person health and strengthen community connection requires a skilled and steady hand. That is why Immergent has developed a Community Wellbeing Training in collaboration with the University of Minnesota Earl E. Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing.
A cornerstone to Immergent is the integrated engagement of a community. Everyone from businesses to local governments, religious to academic institutions and community groups play vital roles in the success of the curated programming. Collaboratively designed by the participants and our creative teams, each program is meant to transform a way of thinking, feeling and gathering together, empowering the individual and ultimately a community. So how does it work?
Through facilitated introductions, conversations are initiated with communities to determine the project’s creative and logistical roadmap. Our creative team begins to lay the foundation of the event with community workshops and story gathering. This critical step is taken with much care and respect for the communities’ unique histories and ways of being. As the first step of the process, this provides the opportunity for people to gather, share and begin the journey into collective healing.
From the stories gathered in the initial step, this phase of the project starts the development of the creative output. Whether it is a musical performance, theatrical production, art installation, or immersive art, this phase builds the common initiative. Not unlike the previous phase, this framework is constructed with the heavy participation of the community. The engagement of intergenerational community members, artists, , and facilitators is core to the development of the programming and the final output.
After weeks of development and preparation, the creative team and community participants debut the fruits of their labor. Through music, art or theatrical performance, a temporary “experience” is opened to the public for collective participation. Common themes that one can expect at any of the programs are that they:
With every Immergent program, it is imperative to create lasting and sustainable change. We ensure every closure of a project is a soft, rolling exit providing tools for ongoing connections across participants and viewers alike. Our team conducts post-event evaluations from all parties to determine project impact and identify avenues for continued support for local artists.
