Canyon Informal Showing L to R: Kennis Hawkins, Burr Johnson, James McGinn, Erin Cornell 

On June 23, 2011 John Jasperse invited the Tallahassee community to an Informal Showing of his latest work-in-progress, Canyon. Jasperse shared a working draft of the material he and his collaborators had been developing in residence. The showing featured an hour’s worth of movement invention amidst Tony Orrico’s visual design/installation explorations in the Black Box Studio, as well as a sketch of what will become Hahn Rowe’s original score. Following the showing, Jasperse opened up a dialog with the audience regarding their perceptions and sensory experiences of the work.
