Just do the thing

I stare at my screen. I stare at the studio mirror. I stare at a blank page in my “thesis ideas” notebook. I stare, hoping the words or the movement or the images present themselves to me; unfortunately for me, that’s just not the way it works.

Admittedtly, I’ve spent a lot of my life stuck in the in-between, looking for the answers and waiting for the end result. But it is only when we take action and create with intention that the work gets done. I’m in the process of editing my first podcast episode, an interview with Christopher Roman – dancer, choreographer, former Associate Artistic Director of the Forsythe Company and world-travelled/traveling performer and curator of dance. You know, no big deal. Anyway, he said many important things, but the most important: “Just do the work.”

So, let’s get to it.
