Zen Monkey Project
Eigth Annual Summer Intensive / June 24-July 7 / Athens, GA

Location

With their home base in Charlottesville, VA, Zen Monkey Project members live and work in California, Colorado, New York, Washington, D.C., Massachusetts, Georgia, Virginia and Mexico. This annual intensive is an opportunity for these members to reunite and share their individual and collective investigations with an equally curious and creative group of students. This year, we invite you to join us in Athens, Georgia.

Floorspace

Floorspace will be our home for these two weeks. The studio is located in the Chase Street Warehouse, a recently renovated complex of warehouses that is quickly emerging as Athens' new urban art district. Floorspace provides studio space for independent artists to teach, rehearse and perform. From Floorspace, you can easily walk or bike to delicious eateries and local shops such as The Grit, our infamous vegetarian restaurant, and The Daily Co-op, where you can buy locally grown produce and organic goodies. Some classes will be held next door at Canopy Studio.

Athens

The vibrant music scene in Athens lends itself to the growing dance community, as local musicians are eager to collaborate with choreographers. Athens is home to such renowned bands as the B52's, R.E.M., Widespread Panic, Dromedary, and many others. Athens' thriving downtown has numerous restaurants, shops and music venues, such as the 40 Watt Club, Georgia Theatre and The Melting Point where you can catch local and national bands.
