Four artists, minutes to rehearse, and only one take. This is TakeOne. A group of YoungArts winners were invited to film a collaborative performance video. All they received was key information: a place, date and time to meet. Communicating with one another beforehand was off limits. Shoot day arrived, and the artists had minutes to discuss together, then cameras were rolling for the first—and only—take, TakeOne.
