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.”

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