in2 sprouted from a cooperative laboratory class at the University of Illinois that explores improvisation and ensemble composition between dancers, engineers and musicians. The first official meeting where the partnership/collaboration began was 9/24/2011. We have been working diligently for the past few months exploring our individual and collective potential. Our first performance was on December 9th, 2011. Check our events page for more information!

A few of the ideas we inverstigate in our work include:

• What is creativity and improvisation? What is the relationship between the two?
  
• How can we create/be honest artists (on and off stage)?
• What is the significance of being seen? How does that expand our understanding of what performance is/means?
• What are our tendencies during collective composition and performance? How do we work to not attach to those ideas and remain open to new possibilities?
• How can we negotiate and play with the relationship between movement and music?
• What is the significance of physical touch? 
  
• How can we communicate and listen kinesthetically?
  
• What happens when we touch (physically, philosophically, emotionally)?
  
• How can we remain connected through time and space?
  
• How do our perceptions of time and space affect our relationships on and off stage?
• How can we foster students creativity in classrooms?
  
• What is the relationship between work and play?
