ANY / WHICH / WAY

CO.LAB DANCE, 2019

Music: Alton San Giovanni

Lighting: Shannon Clarke

Costumes: Ruby Canner

What does the creative process look like without a plan, idea or goal? Without preconceived notions, preparation, or expectations? Everyone commits to staying in the "now". We notice, adapt and embrace tiny moments. We allow distraction, surrender to tangents, and take time to find a range of answers to a single question. We welcome varied perspectives, sensitivities, and energies. We laugh, cry, joke, push each other's buttons, forgive, forget, and try really hard to be OK with not knowing. In the end, we connect all we've experienced. We take a good look. And we surprise ourselves. It is nothing like what we expected. (...And so the new question arrises: is it possible to create without expectations?)
