This community comes together in Arles, a city that has embodied and fostered creativity for thousands of years - and more specifically, under the auspices of the Luma Foundation, which has focused the boundless inspiration of the place.” “We’ve broadened our scope to include artists across disciplines, and our conversations and reflections - about careers, aspirations, the industry, and art - will evolve as a result.

“At this Retreat, we ask only for a spirit of inquiry from our participants,” said Christopher Hibma, Director of the Institute’s Theatre Program. Founded in 2013 as a creative collaboration between Sundance Institute’s Theatre Program and Luma Foundation, the Retreat is an opportunity for directors to meet, share best and emerging practices, and work self-directed on their upcoming projects. Six directors have convened in Arles, France for the sixth annual Sundance Institute | Luma Foundation Directors Retreat in Arles, France, from August 1-12, 2019.
