Jennifer Sherburn and Dawn Stoppiello began this collaboration via phone/ Facetime plotting and planning the creative process of Wake. The first layer begins with scenery and lighting. Natalie and Yvonne will be the first to collaborate in the space - loading in before the dancers begin their first rehearsal. Together they will create the environment.

Jennifer and the dancers will arrive next, working and creating in collaboration with the existing environment. Then Dawn arrives on day 3 and has creative freedom to disturb or even ‘wreck’ the work Jennifer & dancers have created. Meanwhile, Michael Brown, musical director, will be working alongside each layer creating music that is inspired by the space, the design, the dance, and the disturbance. On day 4, the entire creative team will come together to finesse the work and polish what will be Wake.
