A change in plans

I had a fresh start to the week this morning. I rose early (read ‘normal’ hours for most people) and have spent the day in a generally nurturing, productive way. I spent a couple of hours this lunch time working with Havi’s Procrastination Dissolve-o-matic with the full intention of writing all about it and sharing the process with you all. However, it turned out that I went deep. Very deep. Just-looking-at-my-notes-makes-me-feel-kinda-queasy deep. So there’s been a change of plans and instead I’d like to share a different side with you that I haven’t really blogged about before.

The dancing geek likes dance

Shocking news I can imagine, but since I hardly ever write about dance I realised that I wanted to change that and had this video tucked away as a talking point. Well now seems like as good a time as any to bring it out.

This is the kind of dancing that I aspire to. The strength and physical grit required to pull off this with such an air of ease and grace is awe inducing. And to get me to gush about dance is *very* difficult; I’m a fussy dance spectator.

So, after the world’s longest introduction, allow me to give you Pilobolus’ performance at the fascinating TED conference.

Pilobolus

Awe. Magnificence. Beautiful. Power. Gentility. Synergy. Connection.
