Thoughts and Ideas 4/25
Conversation Starter
Daydreaming. Have you ever spun ideas for art, music, film, choreography concepts that you let pass; it wasn't the time, you don't feel confident enough, you don't have the resources or time? How can you break through this impasse? Can you pull it off alone? Can you collaborate? what about commissioning your idea? Discuss.
Creative Experiment
Start a Dance Journal with a small notebook to keep within reach of daydreams.
Assign a page to create a bullet list of ideas for the new concepts that come up.
Assign a set of pages to flesh out an idea. Spin on your idea for a few weeks adding information.
Get a group of 2-5 people you trust and share your thoughts. Discuss your ideas. Riff. Offer suggestions, contacts, resources, to each other. Spark each other into action.
Meet again and give each other updates and encouragement.
