Typically, the performance is the end product of a creative process. What if the performance is a continuation of the process? What happens to the dance when it’s as alive as the dancers?

“We think we understand things when we become adults, but what we really experience is a narrowing of the imagination.” —David Lynch

How can we choreograph and perform in ways that expand the number of possible interpretations of the dance? If there is not a single meaning or theme to “get”, how does that free you up as an audience member? Can you track your experience rather than working to figure out what the piece is about? What captures your attention? Can you track your sensations? Your gut feelings, goosebumps, and grins?

“The greatest teacher will send you back to yourself.” —Nayyirah Waheed

What if what a person thinks of a performance says as much about them as it does about the dance? What might you learn about yourself by talking to others about the show and noticing what you say? What can you learn about others by listening to them talk about the performance?
