Applause

Musing…
A sidestep away from “all the world’s a stage” is “to thine own self be true”. Shakespeare said just about everything with these two phrases and they never lose their relevance.  Judith Jamison, artistic director of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, weds these two phrases together in her interview with NPR by saying, “ As dancers we need to bring our life experience to the stage…we need to share our truth”.  A performance reaches across the stage to grab the spectator with its honesty.  

If the world is your stage what do you choose to bring to it? How do you show up?



Get Fired Up:
·          Imagine an appreciative audience for your endeavors.
Now what is it about you and what you present that they appreciate?
·       
      Go back to your endeavors with this appreciation to call upon.
Applause!
