On May 20th 2026, Seke Chimutengwende, Rosemary Cisneros, and Lauren Scott spoke about split-second decisions, focusing on what happens in the split-second before the next action in improvisation. Through their conversations, Seke, Rosa, and Lauren explored: how the dancer’s awareness of the rapid play of conscious and unconscious impulses, the strategies that might emerge to navigate the overwhelming flow of possibilities, and how this split-second time alters our sense of consciousness and agency. Seke Chimutengwende shared his perspectives from contemporary dance improvisation, Rosemary Cisneros brought her embodied practice of flamenco, and Lauren Scott spoke from her experience as a hip-hop dancer.
