Creative Process

As some of you already know... I am addicted to the creative process.
This addiction of mine always tends to lend me into performances that are seldom repeated.
It's one of the reasons why I am not attempting to be part of the typical professional circuit.

I realize that in some aspects this makes me unique.

It's not the performance I am addicted to... it's the process of building it..  The music, the costume, the dance... and when it is all done, the creative release into the world.

I often think that if I were a better choreographer I could do this constantly and for people and then watch the creations take off. 

I can only speak for myself when I say that I am finding more personal joy in crafting more artistic type pieces. 
I know that I find an incredible amount of inspiration when I see other dancers tap that creative vein too...  pulling out and pulling off high concept work.

It's not for everyone and I understand it.  I certainly don't expect people to "get it", nor do I expect them to "like it".

But then again....  who said I had to dance for the masses?
