Thoughts and Ideas
Creative
A game - try the surrealist game: "Exquisite Corpse" mentioned below under "Escape", combining your idea or specific dance movement with another random idea or movement "tossed into a hat" by a fellow dancer. Make a hat of random ideas or movements to have on hand when the need arises.
Musings
Effect of your surroundings. Action as a tool against feeling helpless. What would you create if you danced outdoors in NM's Permian Basin? What would you create if you danced in NM's national forests? How does Environment affect your creativity? Your emotions? How does Action or Inaction affect you?
Conversation starter
Where do you find the role of art/dance fits in a time of crisis? As a mirror, reflecting what is present in the world? Or as Messenger, moving an audience to think, discuss, act? Or are you providing relief, escape from the effects of crisis? Are there other roles that you can envision. Who do you do these things for? Where can you find a stage to succeed in any of these roles? Think out of the box.

A Surrealist art exhibit at Matrix Fine Arts "Silent Partners" 3812 Central SE 11-5 Th-S until Oct 31. Artists continued a Surrealist ritual game where they concocted their own word or phrase then added a second concept tossed into a hat by group members, and combined the two ideas into a work of art.
