ARTISTIC COLLABORATION
In 2020 Night Fall’s Artistic Collaboration was born. The Collaboration is a team of local choreographers, composers, makers, actors, comedians, designers, and writers who serve as the artistic leadership of Night Fall and create the original script, music and dances for Night Fall performances. We come from many backgrounds, histories, cultures, and communities. One thing we share is our love for Hartford. Through our collaborative process, we open the door to new ideas, new forms of artistic expression, and new connections among artists.
