Thoughts and Ideas 10/16
CONVERSATION Starter
Dance Community. Is your dance community larger than your circle? By definition, members of the dance community support their circle by serving their roles. But, consider, can you play a role in supporting the broader ABQ dance community, outside of your organization, your circle? Explore small, subtle, and large ways that can be done and how it can benefit you personally and professionally as a by-product. Challenge the question. Define support.
Creative Experiment
Sensations. Define a few. Choreograph one. Make someone else feel your choice through your choreographed definition.
