This perspective takes a step away from the dance scene and offers to focus on a question or situation as an artist, as part of a much bigger community. We are all experts in our fields, yet this expertise sometimes narrows our awareness to the outside, so why not open up for a moment.

… what do I have?
… what am I missing?

… how do I prepare for the process?
