Because collaboration is essential to ClancyWorks, we've created a new project titled SquidWorks to manage companies in various performance realms. These companies hold a similar vision: utilizing the arts to advance social action. SquidWorks is a managing network of performing artists who work in multiple community and performance settings with one clear vision: to advance positive social action through quality arts residencies. SquidWorks manages an impressive roster of artists who can bring to your community an exceptional combination of high quality performance and engaging community outreach. The community-based work is valued as a vehicle for individual empowerment, transformation and progressive social change. Who’s on the Squid Roster? We are honored to represent: ClancyWorks Dance Company, working to shift perceptions through performance; the riveting thought-provoking work of women’s theater company, Looking for Lilith, and Plunge! Cabaret, a performance and residency-focused company working at the intersection of art, higher education and community service. Squid Facts: Squid and Octopus are thought to be the most intelligent invertebrates in the world. Squid live throughout the world's oceans at all depths. And, the giant squid has the largest eyes in the world. Why do squid have 8 arms and one head? All the better to enable our multi-tasking capacities and the ability to work in multiple environments with multiple populations with one clear vision: utilizing the arts to advance social action. What functions do the tentacles perform? Some of the arms of our artists reach into theater, dance, or stand up comedy. Our tentacles reach to create arts in education residencies in K-12 settings, University environments and community centers. Other tentacles focus on performing in multiple venues: in clubs, warehouses, proscenium stages - both in traditional and nontraditional environments. Why Squid and not Octopus? Squid swim in schools, while Octopus tend to be loners. Our network of performing artists see SquidWorks as the future: artists with a similar vision, supporting one another through management and artistic projects, swimming together to create a unified current in the next wave of the Performing Arts Ocean.
