​The Hatchery Pit Band is more than a music program. Hatchery is a family and a safe, dynamic environment where teens experience what it’s like to be part of an inclusive performing arts community.

​COMMUNITY, COLLABORATION, CREATION

HATCHERY PIT BAND is HATCHERY’s Sound, Music & Video focused program. It is a working playground where young artists (13-18) of all skill levels work in creative collaboration with dancers, choreographers, and visiting artists. Musicians craft music and sound together as a live band. In a process similar to scoring music for film, they workshop original sound accompaniments for HATCHERY dance pieces through improvisational explorations on a variety of acoustic and electronic instruments, accommodating both traditional and nontraditional approaches. They also build selections of musical material to showcase their interests and creative voices, interpret songs and jazz standards, and work creatively with sound in live and recorded environments. Students are exposed to audio engineering skills (mixing live sound, effect processing, and basic recording) and philosophies of expressive artmaking and live performing, with a focus on the collaborative skills and flexibility to adapt to what each moment brings. Video works are also explored, adding a dynamic visual element to performance pieces with projected video and incorporating the elements of film scoring.

HATCHERY accommodates young artists at a range of levels, where creativity, curiosity and enthusiasm is central, and company members become articulate, dynamic and skilled performers and directors. Hatchery’s training program aims to cultivate personal artistic growth, while striving for excellence in the arts. Under the direction of Jennifer Polins and Kate Martel, and Tyler Gorman, Hatchery members receive mentorship from experts in the field to create dynamic, inspiring performances for the Pioneer Valley and beyond.

Hatchery Pit Band is a good fit for you if you love to create, explore, collaborate, and perform in a non-traditional and non-competitive environment.

Hatchery was founded in 2015, in recognition of the need to provide intermediate and advanced level young dancers and performance artists with opportunity for performance without competition. Teen artists are offered opportunities in diverse styles of dance and performance art that challenge their abilities, while inviting their own creative process to emerge. It is our commitment to recognize that each young artist brings their own unique artistic integrity to the company. Each artist not only feels valued, but is valued.
