Charlotte - Day Six

Take JO on an internal, imaginative journey in an improv. An urgent search for meaning in what feels like an abstract wasteland of grids and calculations. This is not how I work. What does all this dancing mean to us?
Its stupid. Clever and stupid all at the same time.
Intention -v- abstraction

PK sings a lullaby. JO fights the need to go to the floor. Its beautiful.
