Creativity Connects Ridgefield
What fuels a vibrant, connected, and creative community? What makes people feel good about living in Ridgefield?
When locals share the creativity that they uncover in the nooks and crannies of their community it brings about connectivity and makes us all feel good. Believe it or not, you discover creativity every day as you walk, shop, work, and play in Ridgefield.
Creativity connects us.
Meet Gina Pulice, local creative and president of Theatre Artists Workshop.
Is there an organization in town that makes you feel good?
Theater Arts Workshop (TAW) is a membership organization for theatre artists to develop their craft. Members - including actors, playwrights, directors, and other allied theatre professionals - workshop theatre pieces in preparation for production, or simply to flex their creative muscles outside the for-public-consumption realm. This period of the pandemic, with its dark theaters and diminished opportunity for production, has proven crucial to members in need of a creative outlet. I have enjoyed working in this community, participating in and watching theatre pieces grow from seed to sprout.
Where do you go for inspiration?
Ridgefield has so much to offer in terms of the arts. I'm a member of Thrown Stone Theatre Company and we love collaborating with groups like the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield Conservatory of Dance, and Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center. I also love the new RPAC Gallery on Main Street.
What do you love about your community?
I have been overjoyed to watch Ridgefield ramp up its already considerable arts presence in the past eight years. As a result of the town's creative draw, I have met some wonderful artists at places like Ridgefield’s dog park (Bark Park) and Tazza Cafe in downtown Ridgefield.
