«I’m grateful for the opportunity to take part in the Bonfire Residency. I valued the personal input and the feedback on my website, which was especially helpful. The experience gave me a clearer understanding that the artistic direction I’m pursuing is right for me, and I feel encouraged to keep developing it further. The program also introduced me to new perspectives and reminded me of the importance of alignment between artistic values and format».
