TRISK RESEARCH RESIDENCY


The Research Residency offers an immersive studio environment for an artist to explore their process without the expectation of a performance outcome. Designed for those looking to deepen or expand their current practice, the residency provides time, space, and resources to support focused exploration. The residency encourages curiosity and invites the artist to work in a way that honors their unique rhythm. With flexible scheduling and access to in-house support, this platform can be shaped to meet the needs of an artist’s evolving process.

August Honey is a multidisciplinary artist residing in Brooklyn, New York on Lenape land. Through acts of citation, choreography, textile installation, and (anti)language, they create work that celebrates QueerDisabled ways of being. August’s work honors rage, interdependence, and intimacy. They engage with these forces through Queer & Crip histories and languages, and sculpt them into works of performance.

August Honey is a co-founder of Interlude dance company, a 2024/25 AXIS Dance Company Choreo-Lab fellow, and a member of the Brooklyn Lace Guild. They can often be found gazing at trees, drinking tea, or leaving open cabinet doors.

‘Crip Notation: Documenting Disabled Artistic Process’ is a multimodal project which uses dance, textile installation, (anti)language, and etymology as pathways to explore Disabled artmaking. August is interested in the disabled dancers' relationships to language, notation, interview, and the camera. They seek to identify ways that dance systems and institutions harm and outcast disabled artists, while celebrating the wisdom and innovation that exists in these margins. Employing the multisensory approaches and embodied knowledge of Disabled communities, August Honey is excited to embark on this process of longform writing, dance, textile art, and conversation.
