Though It May Shift is an evening length dance theatre work that premiered in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre February 2-5, 2017.;This document is constructed as its own collection of artifacts from the making of Though It May Shift and is by no means an attempt to describe the show and process in its entirety. Like the performance it is describing, this text is a collage and not a linear exercise in exposition. False starts and changes in plan were significant fibers woven in to this piece. Time and again my collaborators and I would laugh about how apt the title was that I had created before knowing how the work would unfold. It was not perfect. Neither is this record. But perhaps the reader's reconstruction of these artifacts will yield a greater kind of wisdom than the sense I alone can make of them.;In this particular approach there is also the hope that if I defy making full sense of what happened, the magic might last just a little bit longer.
