Presented by the Swimming Hole Foundation.

600 Words is a small group of writers/producers/improv artists and performers that are coming together to create a spoken/visual work in response to and inspired by the current exhibition of Ford Crull’s abstract paintings and drawings. The experimental performance will be open to the public.

Phase one will begin in the gallery with the group surrounded and inspired by the paintings of Ford Crull. The group will then return to the Swimming Hole to collectively create, synthesize, and rehearse the work over the next two days.  The group will return to the gallery on Sunday, September 29 at 3pm and perform the work for a public audience.
