Dreams & Creative Embodiment for the Creative Process (with Chloé Zhao and Kim Gillingham)
"We have to remember, there is another way.”
- Marion Woodman
We invite you to slow down and gather for a community-centered conversation led by filmmaker Chloé Zhao and creative dreamwork specialist Kim Gillingham.
Together, Chloé and Kim will open a space for listening: to dreams, the body, and the subtle inner movements that often guide creative work before it has language.
The session will include gentle prompts, guided exercises, and ways for participants to engage with their own inner images and intuitions. This is not a lecture or a performance, but a participatory experience shaped by curiosity, care, and conversation.
Chloé will reflect on how listening inward has informed her creative life, while Kim brings decades of experience helping artists work with dreams as a source of renewal, meaning, and direction.
Designed for the 2026 Sundance Film Festival community, the morning is meant to be an opportunity to reconnect with imagination, one another, and the quieter tools that sustain creative work over time.
Presented in partnership with Google and their 100Zeros initiative.
Nourishment will be provided.
