What audiences appear to admire remains a wonder even to the creators of "16 "The process of making a work like this is indescribable," said Coniglio. "Instinct and surprises become critically important to the piece.
It's a mystery to us how we go where we go in the end. But it's a deep expression of who we are and what we were thinking about. I think it's there to be seen on the stage." piello said. "Every artist said to me, 'I'm a Mark said the slash is the key element." The multidisciplinary concept led Coniglio and Stoppiello to nurture their company along novel lines.

The dancers in "16 oscillate between worlds depicting "the path begins with early man's primordial drives and ends in an imagined 'post-intellectual' future where animal drives are subjugated to the point of confusion," according to a Troika Ranch program note. Most of the material in Troika Ranch pieces is created in the studio, though Stoppiello always leaves room for the performers to tweak the choreography.
