With a focus on "process" not "product," this is a low-pressure, safe environment to experiment and play. A great opportunity to connect with other artists, try new ways of creating, or offer assistance to another artist's process. What actually happens at inFORMal? Well--It is up to you! Sometimes people move. Sometimes people write. Sometimes everyone works individually. Sometimes people teach a phrase and ask for feedback. Sometimes people bring a group and have a rehearsal. Sometimes people plan upcoming classes. Sometimes there is a prompt to explore. And sometimes we sit and talk about an idea. Many of the ideas explored during inFORMal never leave the studio, and although some of the wackiest ones actually do (see photo above)... The purpose of inFORMal really is to practice creating and to sharpen our creative tools.
"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance."
