McNally enjoys exploring athletic movement, challenging boundaries, and finding new ways to utilize momentum and suspension.

This year\u2019s performance was unique in that they may- or may not!- have had an audience. McNally says they were so caught in the movement experience of their Dance Anywhere piece that they didn\u2019t even notice if passerby stopped to watch. Instead they enjoyed the sensory movement experience of their natural surroundings.<br \/>\n<span style=\"white-space: pre;\"> <span style=\"white-space: pre;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span>On July 20th, 2013 A Mused Collective shows a preview of their project,\u00a0<em>Sincerely Rescripted\u00a0<\/em>at Kinetic Arts Center in Oakland.
