For three weeks of Oberlin’s 2014 Winter Term, seven Composition and TIMARA majors joined TIMARA faculty Lyn Goeringer and Peter Swendsen for a residency at the Banff Centre in the Canadian Rockies. While in Banff, the students worked intensively on a wide variety of projects, which they presented to the Banff Centre community at the end of the residency. In addition to personal projects, the students met and collaborated with other resident artists from around the world. Taking part were Sam Fisher (’14), Keenan DuBois (’16), John Burnett (’16), Mitchell Herrmann (’17), Judith Jackson (’17), Eli Stine (’14), and Noah Chevan (’15).
The Banff Centre is the largest arts and creativity incubator on the planet. Its mission is inspiring creativity. Over 8,000 artists, leaders, and researchers from across Canada and around the world participate in programs at The Banff Centre every year. Through its multidisciplinary programming, The Banff Centre provides them with the support they need to create, to develop solutions, and to make the impossible possible.
