Come see the moment where the sparks of creativity really ignite! You will see the artists come together for the first time, vulnerable to each other.  Watch as dancers, musicians and technicians begin to build trust and chemistry.  You will experience the choreographer's moments of creativity.  You will witness things as they fall apart and are rebuilt.  Watch the sparks fly!  Afterwards, speak with the artists.  Share thoughts or ask for deeper insights.  Enjoy some fine wine, eat cheese, and reflect.  Life is a work of art!
