Teaching a workshop next weekend
"You said 'lead, follow or get out of the way!' so I got out of the way!"
That quote (from Idiocracy!) resonates with me. I’m just not ambitious. Or failure scares me so much I’d rather just be on the sidelines. Until the event I’m on the sidelines of, then I’m mad at myself that I didn’t try!
Next week I am leading a dance improv workshop on sunday at noon and then having a showing from the workshop at 1. It’s pretty compressed, but yesterday I met with some dancers who have joined up and got feedback as I went through different aspects of the class. finding in myself where things I thought I had down pat suddenly lost form in my mouth. But other times I actually found some metaphors that were fulfilling for them.
I mean to write here more, and I never just sit down and do it because i know I’m going to agonize over it but fuck that, if it’s not quite up to snuff grammatically etc who cares right now.
COME DANCE WITH ME!
The workshop is open to all, even if you say you can’t dance. Stop thinking of the ballet or contests. And we will make little dances together to perform outside in different spots within the shinbone alley area!
I don’t mean to make this only advertising things I’m doing, but at least it gets me to sit down for a second and concentrate—
