This work is based on three tenets: ensemble, multi-disciplinary, and self-generating. Music, movement and comedy will be injected into this process in a manner that reflects the inclinations of those in the room. The program will culminate with a performance event and celebration for the ensemble and invited guests.

“It’s so clear that David is a master at what he does. How he tells the story of mundane things that happen to him in his life. I love the feedback he gives and you see the results of his feedback immediately, the story suddenly becomes that much more meaningful and potent because of his suggestions and I really loved working with him.”
