Articles for Dancers
I'm a very philosophical kind of a guy, so I tend to analyze and philosophize on darn near everything. So here are a number of articles, intended for my sisters & brothers in dance - but open to the curious among non dancers as well.
I am soliciting for articles on the subject by others, if you have one you'd like to contribute, E-mail Me.
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action and, because there is only one you in all time, this expression is unique.
And if you block, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is. Nor how it compares to other expressions.
It is your business to keep your's clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself, or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate YOU. Keep the channels open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatsoever, at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us different than the rest.
