One of my juggles in life is graduate school, it is one of my juggles but all my juggles are connected. In graduate school today we had a speaker (sculptor/professor). He made valid points through out his presentation of being an artist. A perfect speaker for me today because it set me up of what the Art Transit Program is about.
The Art Transit Program has Public Art and he has his art in this program. Through out his presentation he shares the process of creating his art. One of the points that grabbed my attention was "IMPORTANCE OF HAVING COURAGE."
I needed these words of encouragement. As an artist I strive to create something different. My art is dance and I must have courage with in myself to push the envelope. With that say I must have courage to FAIL....
Failing is not failure because with failing you always learn something from it. These past months I a learning something from failing. I was failing to connect to my community about my art of dance. I was failing because for some reason I am not creating a diverse audience.
My audience seems to be of similar backgrounds. As an artist I strive to connect to all backgrounds. So I am back into the creative side of how to connect to all backgrounds. I learned today in graduate class of paying attention to detail because I might come up with something different.
I must say today...
I am sleepy....
Alot of information has come to me at once today...it needs time to sink in. This weekend I will reflect and will start taking my graduate school to the fullest extent of appreciating every moment.
