here you go the youtube version of the video. Perhaps easier to watch

Creating and working on this Blog has been a creative process for me. As I stumble through the how to's of internet blogger world. I am happy to learn that I am always learning and growing. And so the only thing is that the link that I had posted ealier on this blog is going to be posted after this is written as I finally figured out how to share videos from you tube to my blog. The vid posted prior can be seen on you tube in the next link posted. The size is bigger so there is less strain to watch it. I am working on getting some performance vids to post so look out for those.

update: artist date

I would say that the last two weeks have been most amazing. Between dance rehearsals and practice, I have had amazing experiences and have met just awesome people. Went to see Zakir Hussain's concert last Saturday. For the first time I paid more than $ 25 tickets. I had made a wow that I would never pay more than that. Okay so just when I was about to walk away from the counter and go see my friend's Movie premiere,  a thought came in my mind. Julia Cameron's words reminding me that my mind will tell me that I am spending too much on these tickets. (won't get into this to much as this is out of context and needs much of a deeper explaination) I said to myself wow lets do something different and break my own rule of paying only 20 something dollars for anykind of entertainment.
Needless to say the concert was rocking and I made a new freind who is a classical dancer and has a huge knowledge about arts and dance. Woo hoo. I'd say it was a win win situation. If I hadn't spend that money my night would have been different and I would not have known myself to be different person.
I'd say that in that moment I matured as an artist. From just a student I bacame a professional. An artist who can afford to go see other artist and pay the price of the ticket that the artist thinks is worthy of their talent. I feel like I honored the artist by doing this. In turn I honored my artist that resides within me. Thank you. 

Dance Rehearsal for a performance

10/10/10

What an awesome day today. Taught three classes and all of them inspiring. I had a new student who had never danced before. After class she was greateful and wants to continue dancing. In between the class there were moments that I was moved by just the effort my studens put in showing up and doing the work. Yes my eyes did get wet and I had to take a moment. Effort is worth an applause and perhaps a teary eye. Drama aside I get that just plain making an effort of doing something brings joy to yourself and others.

What I am committed to ?

Really I have been pondering what am I committed to in my art. Today I got it. It is something that I get really excited and moved by. I had created a dance piece few years ago and that piece moved me tremendously. The reason being that every moment I chose to put up on stage just took my breath away. Every moment was special and I was just excited to watch it unfold every time in a new way. So there it is I found my commitemment. I am committing to creating moments that take my breath away. In turn they will also take your breath away. That is how it works from my experience.

Om Welcome to my post.

This post is dedicated to my creative process a journey through the different art forms that I practice. Tapping into that creative self over and over again. Lets see where this is going to lead me and us. Thank you for getting me started :-)
