An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
A collaboration bringing together artists with a shared gravitational heft to their work; an intense and concentrated accumulation of detail and power.

4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
