The Watermill Center continues its year-round open studio series with In Process on Friday, March 17, at 6 p.m., a program which brings unique insight into the work of the center’s rotating roster of international artists-in-residence. The upcoming event will provide East End community members with a chance to explore the creative practices of writer Carina Kohn, performing artists Pe Mellado Dance Company, and composer Anthony Vine.
In Process invites the community to gain insight into the creative process of international artists-in-residence, cultivating an understanding of how artists from across the globe develop new work.

Pe Mellado Dance Company was founded by choreographer Paulina Mellado in 2000 with the intention of establishing a space where performers can investigate and experiment from the intersection of various techniques and offer answers to their creative concerns. Mellado has been awarded several scholarships and has been invited to perform at international festivals.

His music has been presented internationally through collaborations with Alarm Will Sound, Quatuor Bozzini, the Minnesota Orchestra, Yarn/Wire, and many other musicians.
