A Day in the Life of an Artmonk: Raphael Sacks on Day 8 of the 90-Day Retreat

Artmonk-in-Residence Raphael Sacks speaks about his first week of the 90-day art-monastic retreat in Italy in this 90-second video blog.

The Art Monastery is honored to count Raphael amongst us this summer. His resume boasts everything from improvising vocal solos for audiences of up to 8,000 in Sweden with Teater Slava and premiering with the English National Opera in London to singing at BAM with Meredith Monk (Songs of Ascension) and Shakespearean performance with British actress Eve Best (Three Sisters and Othello). Humble and perpetually glowing, Raphael is also the co-founder of his own interdisciplinary theater company, Loom, which recently premiered their newest show at La MaMa in New York City.
