This performance was an exploration between group improvisation and lighting improvsation by Dian Jing for her MFA thesis.
We spent months trying out all kinds of prompts and relationships and this live showing was a peek into that process. Dian would give us a new set of prompts and a new set of groups just before the show and then she would improvise on the lighting board in response to our movements, and we would respond to her lighting choices according to the prompts she had given us. It was a really wonderful exploration of emergent structures in improvisational groups and was really a one of a kind experience.
