About the Transitory Sound and Movement Collective
The Transitory Sound and Movement Collective (TSMC)—founded by artistic director Lynn Lane—brings musicians, sound artists, dance artists, spoken word, and visual artists together to collaboratively create immersive and experiential evenings of sound, movement, and visual art through a guided improvisational process. Each performance is a unique and spontaneous composition that is created by the process of consideration and response of each artist to the overall whole and concept. The created work truly becomes an unspoken conversation through structured improvisation. Officially formed in December of 2016, TSMC has created evenings for venues such as the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, Texas; the Rec Room, Houston, Texas; the Rice University Gallery, Houston, Texas; the Texas Dance Improvisation Festival at Texas Christian University-Fort Worth; the Rothko Chapel, Houston, Texas; and the Arts Mission Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas.
