Life's too fast to play it safe.

Tanz die Toleranz

having been asked many times in the past weeks to give a specific description of my final project, I believe the below spots it quite good.

On May 11th, 240 young people between 6 - 28 years will be dancing on stage in the middle of vienna, open air, for the opening of a large cultural festival.
Tanz die Toleranz is the name of the project, initiated by Caritas with a focus on integration and a search to work with new forms and platforms.
Besides following and assisting the open group of dancers, from refugees to homeless to ballet dancers my task is to design and start up a variety of dance projects that carry on the vision of creating touch points of societies' most diverse levels, through dance.

if we can dance together, we can live together. [royston maldoom, the choreographer]

apply for the kaospilots - now..

next generation - mine, team 11 is about to move out, and so the search is on to find 35 new minds, endowed with purpose and passion.
..and if you never send it, the application- fill it out at least.

in the end, who is not a kaospilot? and who is..?
a nice broschure to get inspiration and facts from.

it seems to come in waves, this urge to share.
if there is some truth in the below quote, i have been doubting waiting for some clearness, for the fear of creating even more dilemma. be with me, in the next weeks, many questions, but less doubt for the time being..

Doubt is an anointment, a red flag, wait wait for clarity before you act. Because if we act from a place of doubt or confusion we create calamity or work.

'live' from new york.

this must have been in early october during one of my many evening walks through the streets of hell's kitchen, 59th Street East New York. This one is taken standing on Columbus Circle, listening to an amazing band. what a soundtrack for a city.
