Premiering at the Bayview Opera House Ruth Williams Memorial Theater and conceived during a time where local, national, and global mandates around COVID-19, travel and gathering were dictating the human experience and polarizing communities, The Joy Protocol, inspired by a new album from Richard Howell of the same name, seeks to mandate Joy. Dawson states, “We all reach for joy, it sustains us and gives way to light. We embrace it as though it was the fragrance of a flower. It stimulates the memory senses that brings warmth to spirit, happiness to our hearts. It brings meaning to our very existence.”, a much-needed change from the rigid and restrictive protocols of existence we now find ourselves slowly moving away from as restrictions have begun lifting. Through the debut of this multidisciplinary collaboration featuring new music and choreography from Howell and Dawson respectively, the duo urges the audience to make the seeking out and experiencing of Joy the new “protocol” and offering imaginings of how that journey and experience might manifest.
