Proxemic Media

prox·e·mics [präkˈsēmiks] noun. The branch of knowledge that deals with the amount of space that people feel it necessary to set between themselves and others.

Proxemic Media accelerates the evolution of creative eco-systems in small to mid-size American cities. The organization develops critical content, processes, and resources for artists, arts administrators and audiences, working to strengthen communities one creative experience at a time. Ultimately, our work centers around closing the gap, the figurative amount of space between artists and their work, and between the public and artworks.

Myra Vincenza Scibetta Weise

Founder | Director

Weise created Proxemic Media in 2016 to produce and collaborate on art projects that place human experience, storytelling and social equity at the center of its work. Whether a public art installation, short film production or live performance, each production seeks to thoughtfully engage with the subject matter as well as the community in which the work is created and presented. Through this outlet, Weise harnesses both her professional dance training as well as more than a dozen years’ experience working in arts management worldwide in dance, music and visual art. Past work includes positions and projects with the American Dance Festival, Black on Black Project, Duke University’s Theater Operations, Empower Dance Foundation, KT Collective, Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Pilobolus Inc, Renay Aumiller Dances, Shana Tucker, Semmel Concerts (Germany) and ShaLeigh Dance Works among others.
