HowNow is:

An artist-led collective.

A holding space.

An invitation.

A space to settle in.

A gathering.

A time to connect into body/ bodies.

A hello, nice to meet you, see you and some more.

A lot of questions.

A place for practice.

A place for process.

A place for encounter.

A playing space.

An improvisation.

A suggestion.

A moment.

A nice try.


A good effort.

A scattering of seeds.

A host, and a parasite.

A sharing, listening, responding.

A place of spontaneity, of nothing, of some things, of everything.

A shaking forearm and hand without a held apple trying to articulate holding.

A gif.


A lovely lunch break.

A just do it.

An offer: maybe, maybe not.

An enquiry into our responsibility as artists within our environments.

An exploration of the body, space, time, that idea, this thing.

An ongoing, evolving form.

A because we want to.

A following an intuition.

A thing that’s better described in motion, particularly by three dancers who take their time to find the right words.

 


HowNow isn’t:

A dance class.

A teacher led session.

A building.

An arts organisation, institution, key holder, rule writer.

A planned set of exercises to do.

A representative…

A supported by, with thanks to project.

A number quantifying value.

A fixed goal.

A set phrase.
