Residency \nHCX positions this invitational residency as an opportunity to innovate and workshop concepts and works-in-progress\, showcase new work\, and build networks for artists’ future presentation (e.g. booking\, touring) at other cultural institutions and stages. \nRarely do artists receive a consistent opportunity to create and share in “real time”–to develop their ideas in a beta form\, experiment\, and refine amidst presenting publicly. Over the course of 6 weeks\, resident artists receive a platform to fine tune approaches\, activate jam sessions\, and explore sonic possibilities while developing relationships with their audiences. \nOn Thursday evenings\, artist-composers host unique sets joined by a rotation of guest artists and ensembles. Performances offer the opportunity to showcase new work and workshop arrangements across the musical landscape\, from traditional genres reverberating the strength of the tanbou to the contemporary sound like fusion jazz and electronic music carrying Haitian vibration into the future.

A pioneer in social entrepreneurship and impact investing\, he helps founders\, backers\, and operators turn promising ideas into viable ventures and develop the systems\, resources\, and communities needed for sustainable growth. \nHe is the author of Venture Philanthropy Blueprint: Builders. Backers. Believers.\, which introduces a practical approach to building and scaling mission-driven ventures through Capital + Capacity + Community. At the heart of the framework is a simple idea: funding alone is not enough. Mission-driven ventures also need the operational capacity and community support required to grow\, scale\, and last. \nDrawing on experience across entrepreneurship\, corporate strategy\, technology\, investment\, and education\, Alain combines strategic thinking with the realities of building organizations in today’s world. He teaches social innovation and entrepreneurship and works with founders\, universities\, investors\, and entrepreneurial ecosystems to develop the next generation of ventures and venture builders.\nAs a father\, Alain’s work is also shaped by a larger question: What are we building for the generations that follow us? That perspective informs his commitment to entrepreneurship as a vehicle for creating both economic opportunity and lasting social impact. \nAlain holds a BS in Computer Science from Rochester Institute of Technology and an MBA from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. \nThrough VPB\, Alain is advancing a model of entrepreneurship where economic value and social impact are intentionally designed to work together. \n  \n \nJacques-Philippe Piverger has built a reputation as a leader at the intersection of finance\, entrepreneurship\, philanthropy\, and human potential. From helping oversee more than $10 billion in global investments to founding and scaling companies with impact in 70+ countries\, his work has consistently demonstrated that exceptional performance and purposeful leadership can go hand in hand. \nAs Founder and Managing Partner of GoodLight Capital\, he invested in visionary founders tackling global challenges. As co-founder and CEO of MPOWERD\, he helped bring millions of solar-powered products to communities around the world. He also has founded The Mindful Arts\, a movement dedicated to integrating ancient wisdom with modern well-being based on his lifelong practice of martial arts\, yoga\, breath work and meditation. \nHis influence extends well beyond business. Jacques-Philippe has advised global philanthropic initiatives\, including George Clooney’s Hope for Haiti Fund\, helped establish the Council of Urban Professionals\, served on influential public and nonprofit boards\, and was recognized as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. \nInside Code reveals the personal framework that has guided Jacques-Philippe’s life and career. Long before it became a book\, these principles shaped the way he built companies\, made investment decisions\, cultivated relationships\, and approached leadership. Now\, for the first time\, he shares the philosophy behind a lifetime of impact\, offering readers a practical path toward greater clarity\, purpose\, and fulfillment.

By 12 years old\, Dieudonné was performing with well-known Haitian folk singer and community activist  Myriam Dorismé. Nadia’s innate talent as a Haitian dancer grew stronger in 1990\, as she began to travel back  to her homeland to research and study the origins\, purposes of Haitian dance and its connections to Africa. She  honed her skills by attending several Lakous (communities that preserve and practice specific Vodou ceremonies)  in the countryside and in reputable dance schools with esteemed dancers/teachers in Port-au-Prince\, and New  York. Dieudonné was also mentored by the Haitian dance icon Jean-León Destiné and worked with him for  many years as a performer and assistant instructor. Today\, Dieudonné is known globally as one of the best Banda dancers outside of Haiti. \nIn 1995\, her passion for dance led her to establish Nadia Dieudonné & Feet of Rhythm\, a Brooklyn-based  Haitian dance company specializing in theater performances with live instrumentation. In the founding of this  organization\, Dieudonné also created Feet of Rhythm Kids to include Haitian-American youths who are not  aware of nor exposed to the vibrant culture of Haiti. Through their performances and signature cultural program  called “Konbit\,” Feet of Rhythm has been educating the community through the performing arts for three  decades.
