I made a triptych of theatrical experiments in 2014–15 that ran somewhere between my practices of performance and teaching. Each began as a workshop that worked from a specific medium (still image, movement, or sound) toward making theatrical performance.
Videos here are from the "12 Tones" workshop series whose participants first created sounds, turned them into movements, and then united these into quick performances.
A finite set of neuroscientific 2-person movements formed the basis for "8 Moves" and a set of specific objects was entitled "6 Chairs." Click the titles to view portfolio monographs for each:
The first in a series of workshops for the Medium Theatre Company's upcoming 12 Tones project. These clips show a warm-up exercise using vowel sounds to inspire movement, and then the development of quick sound-movement pieces based on two-word phrases.

The second in a series of workshops for the Medium Theatre Company's upcoming 12 Tones project. These clips, excerpted over a span of 30 minutes, show 3 quartets using sound material to generate movement and then make impromptu pieces for each other.
