With the support of the Flemish Government
The working of GRIP in Antwerp is made possible in part by the Open Call for Structural Artistic-Cultural Initiatives of the City of Antwerp.
On Sunday, January 24, 2026, from 12 pm to 3 pm, Cherish Menzo and Jennifer Piasecki will engage in a public conversation about well-being and collaboration as part of PuSh Festival, Vancouver, Canada.
'In Practice' with Cherish Menzo & Jennifer Piasecki
Q7 Studios (77 East 7th Avenue, Vancouver, BC)
Cherish Menzo (co-artistic director at GRIP) and Jennifer Piasecki (Production & Tour Manager at GRIP) have a conversation on well-being and collaboration within artistic organizations. Drawing from their experiences working within a company led by four co-artistic directors, they will reflect on the relational practices that foster healthy and flexible working environments.
Rather than offering expert instruction, Cherish and Jennifer will share personal insights, working methods, and practices they’ve implemented to nurture care and balance across roles and relationships — from leadership to freelance collaborators.
'In Practice' is a program for continued education, peer to peer exchange, and knowledge sharing for dance teachers and leaders.
This session is co-presented by New Works and PuSh Festival.
