For Now is an original performance that considers the effects of living in a state of overwhelm, and the attempts we make to slow, steady, and arrive in the present moment. A movement-driven and musical experience, this imagistic work is created by performance-maker Erika Chong Shuch in collaboration with the cast and creative team. This work is motivated by Jenny Odell’s NYT bestseller, How To Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy. For Now invites audiences into a contemplation of time and stillness, and aims to inspire — in the words of Odell — “the revolutionary potential of taking back our attention.” For Now is produced in collaboration with the Stanford COLLEGE Program.
