David Thomson is an interdisciplinary artist who has worked extensively across the fields of dance, music, performance and theater for over 40 years, working and collaborating with a wide range of artists including Bebe Miller, Trisha Brown (1987-1993), Ralph Lemon, Sekou Sundiata, Marina Abramović, Yvonne Rainer, Maria Hassabi and Matthew Barney, among many others. Thomson was honored with awards and fellowships from US Artists, Yaddo, MacDowell, Foundation for Contemporary Arts and the Alpert Award.
He initiated the Artist Sustainability Project with Kate Watson-Wallace in 2017, as an ongoing platform that seeks to create and expand discourse surrounding ideas of financial, artistic, and personal empowerment in the arts community. At the heart of this work are larger questions and philosophies around care, community and resources that feed and support each artist’s ecosystem of sustainability.
David Thomson developed YoungArts’ Artist Resource Collective (ARC) program in collaboration with YoungArts and Emily Waters. He is currently studying to become an Accredited Financial Counselor.
