Thoughts and Ideas

Written By ABQ Dance Connect

Musing

Nothing is a noun. Doesn't that make it something? How can you explore nothing as an artist? When do we need to avoid uh, er, nothing? When is choosing nothing a valid choice? How many meanings, uses, and examples can you find for .... nothing?

Creative Experiment

Reread each of the above sentences with different emphasis. Play with modifying words. Make a three part short exploration of "nothing" with each part using the word in a different context.
