art gives life meaning

I believe in the live performing arts.  The space between the performer and the audience has many possibilities, but ultimately it is that relationship that opens up the opportunity for a moment of entertainment, that allows the performer & the observer to hold each other together, mutually (which is the root meaning of the word "entertain"  - thank you Erich Leinsdorf for that definition).

Theatre, Dance & Music all exist within the unique combination of time & space & the physical human body & the audience.
