Questions to think out loud about

Leading up to Dancemakers Presents: The future memory heartbreak junction, a blackandblue dance projects world premiere, choreographed and performed by Sasha Ivanochko (December 11-13)

– I’ve got a few questions about habits or doing things over and over.

I’m curious about the way we think about habits – and how that might be different in different areas of our lives.

I’m also curious about the relationship between habits and repetition and if there’s a difference between what we call “habits” and what we do over and over,

So, trying to turn those into clearer questions (though feel free to speak to the general curiosities):

Do you find yourself trying to build habits or trying to break them?

How do you (or do you) tell the difference between being in a rut and useful repetition?


I would still love to hear also from people who work in other fields – that maybe don't make "art" but do all the other interesting and important things.

Thinking Out Loud
happens before the first Friday performance at Dancemakers (which means one is coming this Friday – November 12th.)

Thinking out loud usually starts with me talking for a couple of minutes about historical contexts and other people’s thoughts on the question, and I want to have some ideas from our more immediate surroundings. And have it start from conversation.

By way of extra incentive (beyond participating in lively discussion - it's own reward), anyone who answers (with a little more then "yes" or "no") can get the reduced ticket price for Dancemakers Presents: The future memory heartbreak junction, (December 11-13)
