...the beginning of knowledge is not knowing...

I've just been reading the keynote presentation that Simon Ellis gave recently at the Thinking Dance Symposium at Leeds Beckett University (I was unable to make it, but great to catch the flavour of this fantastic keynote online). 

I wanted to share this with you, in relation to our Skype conversations over the weekend and our learning, knowing, expectations as we move through the MA.


'Perhaps what we should concentrate on is becoming comfortable with not understanding everything that is going on. Perhaps we should be comfortable with not seeing everything. After all, the beginning of knowledge is not knowing'

  1. I remember on the summer intensive course you and Adesola comparing choreography to doing research and this shows it very clearly to me. There are so many ways of doing choreography and doing our research and it is a process and a journey rather than a right or wrong way.
    Thanks
