Still from Terhal Diriyah, Saudi Arabia This still from Terhal is from the initial encounter between the protagonist, Saad, and the character named “The Dreamer.” While from the audience perspective, this moment might appear to be a duet, from a creative perspective it’s a trio of human performance. It is a three-way, real-time collaboration between rider, aerialist, and aerial winch operator. For the aerialist to effectively soar throughout the space, the winch operator responsible for raising and lowering them must understand every movement and deliver as consistent of a nightly performance as the artists onstage. Even with powerful tools and innovative technology, the onstage magic comes from the humans working together performing, operating equipment, and delivering a cohesive and dynamic ensemble experience for the audience with every show.

Early visual exploration for “Robots in Love” concept Marker on paper Illustration by longtime collaborator Ben Cuvelier This type of quick and expressive illustration is often generated as one of the first steps in a creative process. Minimal and specific, it captures the spark of an idea that can be refined and expanded as the process continues. The idea evolves as more artists and collaborators contribute, shaping what was a spark into a realized moment of performance.  This archival drawing was created as one of 52 illustrations made by a team of artists. While the “Robots in Love” concept was never filly produced, it was very dear to Franco as a means of exploring the future through theatre. #makethemdream #illustration #process #dragone #concept #idea #sketch #dance
