INSPIRATION #2 - RENAUD HALLEE

Hello friendly visitors!

I've been a bit quiet this week - my bad - so I thought I'd share something pretty cool with you.
Whenever I hit a wall with my concentration or creativity I often turn to You Tube or Vimeo for a little gem to loosen me up again. Yesterday I found this:

Gravité from Renaud Hallée on Vimeo.

This video instantly brought me joy and I thought immediately of this quote from Mamet;

"Art is an expression of joy and awe. It is not an attempt to share one's virtues and accomplishments with the audience, but an act of selfless spirit. "
David Mamet (True and False: Heresy and Common Sense for the Actor)

It also had me thinking about what I could use around me to create something interesting or innovative for people to watch or engage in. Or even for me to just enjoy doing!!

I often find myself over-complicating things, needing the best tools, or exactly the right people or (god forbid) money!! Unfortunately these things don't come by us so easily so we have to go out there and 'create' opportunities for ourselves. We have to embrace our limitations and use them to challenge ourselves to be even more creative.

Which reminds me of another Mamet quote...maybe he's next on my list!

See you soon!

Carolyn
