State of Play invites you to join the creative process through a curated artistic exchange, presenting premieres and works in progress from dance artists across the Bay Area and the US designed to bring audiences and artists closer together.
The art of art-making goes through many unique processes: prompts, inspiration, feedback, collaboration, frustration, improvisation. One constant in this process is play - the notions of experimentation, risk, and curiosity.
