3C

THIS IS NOT A CURE was created in response to the year of the Covid 19 pandemic lockdown (2021) as a GF&CO 3C: (Creative Collective Ceremony).                           

It is a collaborative performance-based video ceremony intended to bring a sense of healing from loss, and to bridge the imposed experience of isolation by building a new experience of  "human connection" through, what was then, a relatively new form of communication platform called Zoom: a technology that has come to redefine our professional and social lives, as well as to define how and where we live, how we communicate and build community, and inform our ideas on learning, relationship, interaction, and bonding as well as what it means to be human. 

3C's are a unique format, developed by GF&CO, for creating collaborative devised works where the development phase all takes place on Zoom. 

3C's are created with the intention to offer the viewer/audience a transporting experience into the sacred, mystical, and liminal realms of ceremony: ceremonies for awakening a vision of possibility and new beginnings through an encounter with the transcendent and transformative powers found in the ancient origins of ritual, art, and performance.  

THIS IS NOT A CURE was developed and recorded while the entire cast and crew were under Covid 19 lockdown and located in 3 different countries, 6 different cities, and 3 different states in the US.  It was made and offered from the heart of our art and meant to be seen and shared free of charge.
