EINN ✨. “I entered the first zoom session of R&D with a project already choreographed, taped, and ready to be taught. Up until a few hours before, I thought my idea was great. However, as time drew nearer, something felt off. I soon figured out that the “research and development” that TPAP is striving for had already been done by myself, excluding anyone else from the experience - which would make my contribution to my colleagues less about collaboration. So what did I do when cams came on and I saw seven people starting back at me? I was honest. I said that I thought I had a direction and that direction has since fallen through. I then said that we are going to start from scratch, and I promised to be transparent about my intentions for creating every step of the way.
.
So right then and there, with kind nods from the rest of my team, I scrolled through Spotify and played a song to which I had no choreography. I saw enough good reaction to this song - everyone began to gently groove to the song - so I knew this was a great start. I was next inspired by the idea of social dancing coming from culture, and decided that the team that I am a part of would make up our own culture for these next nine hours.
.
From there, we all promised to fail forward, and win along the way! In the span of nine hours, we all became more daring as we drew shapes on pieces of paper and tried to create those shapes with our body. That turned into us making our own version of an alphabet, as if we were extraterrestrial beings who spoke with our body.
.
The weight of 'who did what' has been divided as evenly as possible so that our whole community has claim to the accomplishment of creating a language that is our very own and dancing with it. Let’s be clear: what you are about to see is not easy to pick up in nine hours, which means these dancers are the REAL DEAL. " - Curtis Holland, TPAP Panorama Faculty 2021 presenting ENIN 🤩
