An idea can manifest itself to us in many forms, as a question, a problem, from something we read, something we saw, a sequence in a dream, a conversation (or an argument) with a friend, a visit to the Zoo, in the lobby of a museum, from a sandwich, on the road, or out of nowhere! An idea has much more to it than we think at first; its emergence is just the beginning. To best understand what an idea could become, we will need to meditate on it in our minds, bodies, studios, and libraries in playful, intuitive, and creative ways. The first section of Body Library will make space for ideas to emerge, evolve, and transform.
