Maybe this is horrible of me, but sometimes I think instead of being creative, uninhibited, and thinking outside of the box, artists are just trying to be as weird and abstract as possible.

24 years in the USA... 4 in England and loving it! I'm working in Salisbury as a Teaching Assistant at a college, and seeing as much of Europe as I can in the meantime. If the impossible were possible, I'd be a professional dancer, math(s) teacher, and travel photographer... all at once!!! These are the things very much on my heart at this point in my life, maybe I'll get to do them all at some point :) The vague plan is another few months here, travelling and helping teens learn, then back to Canton, OH to dance (with maybe something in between?)... still waiting on God to fill in the details!

Being strange has to be a lot simpler than being creative. Besides, artists starve. Nuts get put on TV.
Did you see something "abstract" recently?
Yes, I saw a dance performance that COULD have (and should have) been really good . . . but wasn't. And then I heard that this director (Siobhan Davies) is supposed to be "the" thing. The piece lost it's focus (or maybe it didn't have one in the first place) and was really boring. I also took a workshop with a couple of the company dancers and at times, I was like, "why am I doing this? What exactly is the point to reaching into the sky with my mouth???" I've done plenty of improvs that are out of my comfort zone, but call me crazy, I kind of prefer them to have a purpose.
