2025 Artist-in-Residence

JULIA OTT

 “The Sound of Water” is a gripping physical theater piece set in the drought-ravaged American West. When a catastrophic drought strikes through the western United States, towns dry up, crops are lost, and residents begin to evacuate. But one woman, Katherine, stays behind. Driven by her insistent ambition, she descends into the canyon. What she finds could change everything. But nature strikes back—when a sudden flash flood tears through the canyon, Katherine’s hope and life purpose are put to the test.


Directed and written by Julia Ott, a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA), “The Sound of Water” explores climate change, scarcity of agricultural resources, and the stories we lose when our lands disappear. This show was created out of a desire to understand how climate change is impacting communities in rural areas and what drastic measures need to be taken in order to preserve the viability of our soil.

JULIA OTT

Raised in Sun Valley and a Spot Young Company Alum, Julia’s upbringing was filled with days of exploring her backyard and questioning the natural world around her. Her curiosity for nature grew into a desire to understand human nature and behavioral patterns. Her artistry has always revolved around asking questions and getting to know people more deeply. Julia will always be the first to ask a question and the last to answer; she believes that space in between is where the best work is created. Now, Julia is drawn towards creating her own work that centers around women’s stories, the natural world, and unheard voices. 

Welcome to THE GARAGE: Artist's Incubator @ The Spot.

Where do all the best ideas start? In garages! In our case, we've doubled down on that model. We've been producing and inviting audiences into ours since 2014. 

 

The Artist's Incubator is different though.

We have created a one of a kind artistic residency program in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho, designed to allow theater artists the space (literally and figuratively) and resources necessary to develop their WIP's. (Works in process.)
