Thanks, Whitney. Yeah, I wish we had more space for pause. But I also find that the case at jazz clubs. I hear the most incredible music, but then people just get up and start texting and joking like nothing happened.
It's memorable, because it's rare, the times I've attended s performance when a just pause was given to the artists before the applause. It seems more likely, in my experience, to occur at dramas and intimate opera settings. It might just be more the custom, not sure.
I'm REALLY interested in what a contemplative concert would look like. What even are the conventions of applause? Do artists need to be affirmed that routinely onstage? Why them and not other professions? Might we imagine new ways of engaging in performance? I'm interested ultimately in transformation, not pleasure that leads nowhere.
I am STILL thinking about that sermon. It helped to ground me in my intention for the week, which was maintaining my self-care rhythms in the midst of the packed schedule of Proctor. It was great meeting you!
Yes and amen. It really grounded me too. I loved carving out long moments by myself just to recoup. I hope to continue the dialogue with her. Wonderful meeting you too, Dr. Chanequa. I look forward to us connecting more.
Excellent questions, Julian. Who does define danger indeed? What a pity the pace of events didn't allow space to honor the words you were so moved by.
