This is not rehearsal.
But we are always rehearsing for unknown ends.
This is not a workshop or a class either.
But it is perhaps a laboratory, or a site that we are approaching with a spirit of experimentation, with a spirit of trial and error, even of play, and, insistently, of humor.
And by humor we mean the ability to laugh at ourselves and find joy in what we come upon even as we begin to take ourselves too seriously.
This particular site is of course an MFA studio at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. However, we do venture out beyond these walls, scouting for sites everywhere, backyard fences, abandoned piers, new construction, etc., experimenting readily and relentlessly in the world that surrounds us. We do this—”inside” and “outside”—often, more than often. We do this work with rigor.
But today we are inside,And welcome…Did we mention…This is not a rehearsal?
This is live improvisational dance.
We may climb high but we may also fall flat on our faces—quite literally in fact.We have skin in the game…Because of you.Our audience.You have raised the stakes.
And all that we ask is for you to remember:
This is not rehearsal, andAny and all response is greatly appreciated.
