I will be performing Awaiting, a performance art and sound installation at the Utah State Capitol next Thursday from 6pm - 6am - yes 12 hours! I am excited to have the chance to delve deep into silence, to contemplate the concept of 'waiting' and to connect with a variety of performers.
I was touched by this quote from the director and artist in residence at the University of Utah:
"Waiting is a busy space. So it's alright for dreams to die. Dreams get old on our shelves. Wisdom is the recognition of dated dreams, like withered branches on a tree that must be pruned for new bloom. Let dreams go. It's the dreamer who must live, not the dream. Dream new dreams. The dreamer must survive."
~Ernesto Pujol
The passage is meaningful to me, a constant dreamer and schemer. It allows me to accept the changes in my life and evaluate and let go of past ambition.
