| At THE BELL HOUSE, we are interested in the collaboration of ideas, people, and processes. THE BELL HOUSE fosters meeting points for artistic collaboration and challenges conventional ways of making art. Whether in dancefilm, across the globe via the Internet, or in the choreographic form, BELL HOUSE work is informed by a diverse training in dance, visual art, and music of the artists that visit us. As in a prism, these various perspectives on the visual and the kinesthetic refract and overlap revealing and creating new possibilities in art-making. THE BELL HOUSE is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization. To donate click here. | |
