We are currently pulling all the sections of  “Unquenchable” together, layering in unique musical transitions and constructing, and then re-constructing props. What a thrill!  "Unquenchable" is an athletic and reflective exploration of our relationship with water, specifically confronting the disparity of safe water access

Anne Bogart says, in Now You Act "There is really no need to come up with anything new. Redescribing what you have inherited will engender all the novelty and originality you crave." "In trying we attempt a miracle." "If the motivation for action does not transcend the desire for fame and success the quality of the results will be inferior."
