We use our dance practice and particularly our improvisation practices to hold the big questions we have about how we are in the world, as individuals and together. In this work that we are developing at Left of Main, the main big question is:

When we find ourselves faced with fundamental uncertainty, how do we make sense of ourselves, our perceptions, and one another?

We have been exploring how invisible forces of various kinds affect our conscious experience — from gravity to the structures we live under to our personal cares, doubts, and desires. In this work we are trying to take all this and put it into scores that emphasize agency and subjectivity, to work on meeting the unknown with humility and willingness.

Francesca Frewer / I think I love too many things but I love loving too many things. Lately I have been marvelling at tiny things and how the huge is contained within them. I have been wondering about big things like if it is possible to imagine beyond what is imaginable. I have been trying to bring an acceptance of impermanence into the way I relate to myself, to others, to things that happen, to things I do: francescafrewer.com

Erika Mitsuhashi / As I allow myself to follow genuine curiosity within my practice, I have been asking: Who’s in the room and when? What does it mean if I am spending most of my time sewing? And if everytime I go to make a dance, all I want to do is make a diorama? erikamitsuhashi.com
