Sunday Touch


Sunday Touch

Dancers work in one of the most ephemeral arts. The word ephemeral means “lasting a short time”. Once dance is created and performed, it is gone. Even on film or videotape, the essence of the performance is never exactly the same. It is ephemeral.

So many of our most memorable things are ephemeral. They are here and gone -but not completely. They live on in our memory. Most of these things are not something you can physically touch or hold – except in the heart and mind.

Give some thought to those things you cannot physically hold. Hope, love, the sun on your skin, a breeze against your cheek. Tune in to these things that make  our lives rich, and you will be happier for it.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Motivational Secret #176:
“Focus on the things you cannot touch.”

“I like the ephemeral thing about theatre, every performance is like a ghost - it's there and then it's gone.”
