Inner Voice Cutting from the Edge

Over the past two days, really amazing things happened in Dresden. One of which was the ballet performance "The Inner Voice". Jiří Bubeníček (back at the time Principal Dancer at the Sermperoper Ballett) decided to build the story around a sculpture of AugusteRodin, and to use the open space interior of the Albertinum to allow the flow of action, thought, and reflection. That opened up fully new and unexpected views - for the audience and dancers, musicians alike

Impressions of the days. The video of the performance can be found here (timeless).

Besides the focus on the art itself, ballet is always a form of showing great leadership. Especially in the context, where the audience is almost sitting on your lap and standing somewhat in the way, there emerges free a floating of action just drawn by "The Inner Voice". Adaption to moving surrounding (the audience), with just a few fix points. Amazing in which brilliant way all the participants of the performance played up to their highest possibilities.

Wondering in thought through the three performances over the weekend I followed the following short speech of ViktorFrankl has come up in my mind. I wonder what role our "inner voice" plays in finding our very personal "search of meaning" in life.

Your Authentic (Passion) Swing

A few months ago when reading through TheoryU I stepped across a passage where BaggarVance and "feel it in your hand, not your mind" was mentioned.

I couldn't really make sense out of it. I let it go and forgot about it.

Now it has come up again. Triggered probably by reading from Theory U in front of a 30 people audience yesterday at the SLUB.

So the question has come up again, what did he really mean?

A few minutes ago, thinking about the Semperoper Ballet later today at Albertinum and what opportunity spaces this performance will again open not just in a cultural context, I checked on BaggarVance.

The one titled "What's Your Passion" has made me shiver. I wonder what passion inside you makes you shiver?
