My method of creating a dance theater work has been to start with an umbrella theme (i.e. the maverick icon, or convenience culture) and to either generate several vignettes or sections that relate to that topic or one complete story. Before I sit down to write, I workshop with the performers deriving what I call a "physical score" for the piece. As the performers explore their characters, a whole set of movements and relationships unfold and I use these to develop the text. The result is a very physical approach to theater, an intricate blend of language and movement emerging out of the actor's own being.
