I ran across this blog post from Alicia Chesser a while back and just had to repost because there's so much juicy information about choreographic process and the generation and cultivation of ideas in this interview with one of Crystal Pite's performers who graced a Tulsa stage back in May.

    It is a simple philosophy here at THE BELL HOUSE; make connections by bringing people together through dance. Art that seeks to defy a fractured view of the world by creating culture that cares for the soul and is concerned with human thriving.  For me, it isn’t enough to just make dance for dance’s sake; it is my belief that it is the connective power of people that makes art worth engaging.  We do that by taking our interests and talents and challenging the ways we connect them to something tangible in the human experience.  It is through these connections and tangibilities that we see the true power of art and dance manifest back to relationships with and through people.  In my view, what matters is people; the time and space of making work refract and overlap revealing and creating new possibilities for human connection.
