12 Hours of Improvisation

12 Hour Play is a non-stop, 12-hour performance series, designed to explore the possibilities of music and dance improvisation. 12 Hour Play allows the development of creative interaction without being restricted by standard time constraints. To ensure complete focus on the sounds and movement, performers are instructed to maintain the development of their creative interactions throughout the entire 12-hour period. 12 Hour Play challenges the standard paradigm of performance, offering a unique setting to explore creative interaction through the use of time. Audience members are encouraged to experience the event at any time, and for as long as they like. Through improvisation and group/audience awareness, the performers will explore each moment between the hours of 6pm and 6am. 12 Hour Play is produced by dancer Beth Graczyk and musician Jason E Anderson.
