A new dance is like making bread
Folding information into the bodies
Letting it sit - to rise on its own
Pushing it around until the ingredients begin a new reaction
Letting it sit
and rise
get a good lather going
Rinse,
and Repeat.
Oops - my brain became a hair salon after the dance bakery.
Whats the point?
Process, letting it go, and letting it sink in.
Until the information is kinetic and organic to the story.

So great, Mel. This is a wonderfully concise way of describing lots of creative processes. Even the mixed metaphor references something about how creativity should be listened to!
thanks for reading between my lines dearest Jeff -
over and over I find that everything needs mixture, time and space...
Yes. Yes yes yes. That kneading then waiting, kneading then waiting, so important. We don't know how to gauge the waiting part, so it's easy to think of it as wasted time, but things have to work underground, on their own. I have to be reminded of this regularly, and it will come as no surprise to you, baking bread is a good task for it. So is planting seeds. Time to do one or both, for me.
