"The instrument by which the dance expresses itself is also the instrument by which life is lived: the human body."

I can’t begin to express my love of this image.

Day 10: something you can’t/won’t live without
(combining my love of dance and anatomy in one…see what I did there? haha)

Day 31: whatever you please
I found a ton of these charts while cleaning out my office. I hung them up because I’m a nerd, and figured the skeleton one was appropriate for Halloween.
There are not enough words to describe my love of what is happening here.
Let’s see….fall 2007. I was a junior in college planning to go into arts management, and thinking seriously about pursuing professional theater/dance. I was in rehearsals for my first (and only) professional theater gig, which I loved and was one of the most valuable learning experiences I have had in my life. I was living in a converted attic of a family’s Victorian house in Evanston, along with the other renter who was an exchange grad student from Taiwan (so essentially living alone since we didn’t speak the same language). I was also taking anatomy for the first time in college and fell in love with the subject. 
If someone had told me how all over the place my life would be the next five years (and in some ways how circular it ended up being, as I’m helped out at an event for that same professional theater last weekend), I would have said you’re crazy. But looking back on the past five years now, I’m very grateful for all the experiences (and struggles) I have had.
In some ways it feels like that was 10 years ago, but it also feels so recent. Time is weird.
I want that anatomy chart.
