Last night I went to a the Design Mind event at Frog San Francisco. I love it when companies have the chutzpah to throw open their doors and talk about what goes on inside their walls.
An open interview with the choreographer Alonzo King really blew my mind. He talked so articulately about dance and with a totally unselfconscious nod to dance’s place not only in human expression, but in the heartbeat of life itself. Example: “What is a pirouette but one of nature’s constants, the earth revolving around the sun”.
He had a lot to say about dance, but what really stuck with me were his thoughts on the differences between people and the need to find and love that otherness in yourself. He came off sounding sincere and incredibly wise. Made me wish to dare to be more foolish.
