Choreographers and collaborators Darrell Jones and JSun Howard both were inspired by residencies and visits to Japan over the past year to create their new dance works CLUTCH and Working on Better Versions of Prayers respectively. The National Performance Network/Visual Artists Network published the article "Physical Translations: Notes and observations from a conversation with Darrell Jones, Justin Mitchell and J'Sun Howard" about the artists experiences in Japan as part of the creative process of these two works.
