26th Annual New England Performers' Retreat


January 7 - 9, 2013


The New England Performers' Retreat was a week long annual artist retreat for professional performers. Now shortened to 3 days, it is still an opportunity for solo performers to create new works and try them out on peers, in a supportive environment, free from distraction. 



It takes place in Amherst, MA. It is produced by juggler Henry Lappen.
