Dance preview: Improv artists team up for 'Structure and Flow'
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Gia Cacalano has been jet-setting around the globe promoting and fine-tuning her art, improvisational dance. In recent months, her work has taken her to New York City and the Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom for a festival uniting artists from across the world.
Friday and Saturday, she will bring a slice of these collaborations to Wood Street Galleries, Downtown, when her troupe, Gia T. Presents, shares "The Frequency of Structure and Flow." The piece is set to live music and has French artist Miguel Chevalier's "Power Pixels 2013" installation as its backdrop.

I really like how this article brings up the issue of how the understanding of what goes into improvisational movement is lacking. they really understand how that in order for your piece to look real and natural, you need to flow with it and not be afraid to put yourself out there in the dance. My experiences with dance have brought me to these conclusions too. I once did a dance where i forgot the whole dance, but because I put myself out there and went with the movement of my body and mind, I was able to make it seem like it was choreographed based on what I was told after the performance. It's all about not having fear and just going with the flow and putting in all that you have to give and offer.
