Papelitos – little paper scraps

On this table lives many little pieces of paper – each with a concept that has been improvised. The order of interest shifts many times. Some will be revisited, some will be left behind.

There will be a pressure to create a logic around this but we want to focus on what a moment can feel like and what it communicates unto itself as opposed to how we get into it.

The team looks over little pieces of paper with various improvised concepts, experimenting with possible order and connections. What will end up in the show? What’s the flow?
