What do YOU want people to know about DANCE?
Jacob’s Pillow International Dance Festival is putting together this campaign. I added my own video response and YOU CAN TOO!
Dance and Movement are our gift to give to the world… but so many people don’t “get it” or haven’t really been exposed to all the things that make dance so great! So lets keep spreading the word!

WOW!!! MOVIMIENTO ES INCREIBLE!
http://www.ted.com Neuroscientist Daniel Wolpert starts from a surprising premise: the brain evolved, not to think or feel, but to control movement. In this entertaining, data-rich talk he gives us a glimpse into how the brain creates the grace and agility of human motion.
WHAT DOES TERROR MEAN TO YOU? QUE SIGNIFICA EL TERROR PARA TI?
“Creamos a partir del miedo, no desde un punto seguro…Artistas y científicos comparten una propuesta común. Adentran en su labor con una mano sosteniendo con firmeza lo específico y con la otra mano en lo desconocido. Debemos confiar en nosotros mismos para sumergirnos con apertura en el abismo, con confianza propia, a pesar de la falta de equilibrio y la vulnerabilidad…creo a pesar de mi mismo y mis limitaciones, a pesar de mi indecisión. Un desbalance y mentira por siempre descendiente en el potencial de creación. ¿Cómo dejamos de interponernos en nuestro camino durante ensayos? La vitalidad o energía entregada en cualquier trabajo es el reflejo del valor del artista en la luz de su propio terror.” - Directora, Anne Bogart en sus escritos sobre el Terror, la Desorientación y la Dificultad.
“We create out of fear, not from a place of security and safety. …Artists and scientists share a common approach. They enter into their work with one hand firmly grasping the specific and the other hand on the unknown. We must trust ourselves to enter this abyss with openness, with trust in ourselves, despite the unbalance and vulnerability. …I create despite of myself and my limitations and my hesitancy. In unbalance and falling lie the potential of creation. How do we get out of our own way in rehearsal? The vitality, or energy in any given work is a reflection of the artist’s courageousness in the light of her own terror. ” - Director, Anne Bogart in her writings about Terror, Disorientation and Difficulty

I read this article through post by Lisa Niedermeyer at Jacob’s Pillow dance festival. Great perspective on how dance is growing and evolving - best quote of course is from writer/traveler Pico Iver: “Every traveler,” said Iyer in an interview, “in fact becomes a dancer of sorts as soon as the words give out, and we find — in Mongolia or Mexico (or Chicago) — that we can say everything we need with gestures, shrugs, and laughs.”
