A Choreographic Mind by Susan Rethorst

"one has to know and not know, prefer and not prefer, empty oneself and acknowledge one's fullness, be passive and charged. It has to happen to you and from you. It has to be too fast for you to take in, and done in baby steps, one leaking into the other." 

Susan Rethorst's musings on the choreographic process that read true for dance and for life. This philosophy is helping me to remember that in creating art (and in planning for life post-graduation) there is a delicate balance between the action that you can take and the ways things fall together that are beyond your power. Working on surrendering to whatever may come while remaining intentional and thoughtful.
