NOTE ON FEMININE NATURE

At FDL, we do not claim to have one definition of feminine nature, as each of our artists defines it differently. It is a constant exploration and discovery for each process and project. However, in our association, feminine nature is not limited to one body, gender, or identity; it is seen as more of an energy that one can tap into, akin to Yin nature. We, as artists, observed that while many women were starting to attain leadership roles in the industry, the problem of not valuing feminine nature still persisted. Thus, individuals who naturally lean towards a more feminine nature feel obligated to utilize a masculine (Yang) energy to gain respect and power.

At FDL, we strive to create spaces where all members can maintain their authentic energy and still find themselves in leadership roles. Furthermore, we aim to break down traditional structures of creation and collaboration to explore avenues that are more conducive to valuing all natures.

FDL ARTISTS

Each year, we accept 25 artists who will be in collaboration and supported by FDL. Each month, the Artists meet together to share their craft, collaborate, develop, and/or learn something new. Events for our Patrons and community are run by the Artists. Artists can collaborate together to make an FDL Produced Production. 

FDL PATRONS
