Thoughts and Ideas
Musing
Failure. Why is it sometimes more powerful, motivating, and useful than a year of successes? When does failure succeed and what does that mean? When is it simply failure? When do we need the courage to fail, and when do we need the courage to point out a failure? Find someone to converse with and dig deep. It isn't enough to answer these few questions, the critical thinking comes when thinking of what follows these answers.
Creative Experiment
Pick two skills that are a challenge to do simultaneously such as: Make a complicated movement phrase. Make a list of unrelated words or phrases. Speak these aloud while dancing the phrase. Consider the result. Which faltered, the movement or the voice. Repeat the exercise over the week and observe the changes.
