Commentary Dancing

30 days to add fun into your creative practice. I will be going through Mike Brennan's Make Fun A Habit workbook and help you make fun a habit. I had the pleasure of interviewing Mike on my other podcast Find A Podcast About and talking about his podcast Creative Chats. This workbook leads you through steps to rekindle the fun in your life and get you in a space where you are your most creative. This is a 30 day book and I will be tackling each day as if it were a week and providing you insights on how you can use his ideas in your creative practice. Each chapter is broken up with a short story, questions to ponder, action items and tips.

Dance as if no one was watching. We have heard that phrase over the years. But what if you really danced as if no one was watching? Would that help you overcome embarrassment of your skills or lack thereof? Movement in our physical body is healthy, we all need to move, but sometimes we have aches and pains that interfere with our movement, so why not try a movement class like tai chi or yoga and move your body, feel all the joints working together and then translate that into a piece you are working on, noticing how the movement in your body feels.

Question to ponder

• When was the last time you danced? What was that like?
• What would make dance or movement more fun?
• Who can you dance or move together with?

Action item: incorporate dance into your daily routine. Dance while doing household chores or on your way to the office copying machine.

Tips:

• dance flash mobs
• dance challenges
• dance workshops or classes
• dance based fundraisers
