(A.I.D.) An Inquiry Dynamic: The Future of…, is a interdisciplinary mentorship inquiry based program for Gen Z & Millennials dancers and their generation. (A.I.D.) An Inquiry Dynamic: The Future of...gathers Gen Z & Millennial dancers and their generation with professionals in the social sciences and humanities to collaboratively develop a practice in contemplative inquiry on the future of our contemporary isms or tenets. Isms and tenets that define and shape today’s humanity, morality, faith, love, race, technology and environmentalism, and to further inquire there future. The culmination of our ongoing gatherings will result in a dance, theater performance that inquisitively illustrates Gen Z & Millennial perspectives on the trajectory of our contemporary social dynamics.
In 2010 I began developing a dance intensive that would invite young dancers to collaboratively create work that use future narratives to investigate the future of our contemporary times. Over the past 6 years I’ve incrementally included the social sciences to further our investigation into the trajectory of Humanity, Race, Spirituality, Morality, Technology and Environmentalism. Our process has become one where participants are invited to explore and develop questions relating to the challenges of our contemporary environment and are then invited to inserted those current challenges into future narratives where the integration of race, biology and technology create new social, global and environmental challenges. Participants are then ask to imagining solutions to the contemporary challenges within the future narrative, while simultaneously exploring how their solutions might impact their future? We believe the integration and use of future narratives, social sciences and creative arts can help dancers develop forward-thinking practices and skills, as they navigate and problem-solve radical futures.
