Can we create healing and beauty?

By Corinne Blum
November 25, 2007

Life will do everything to destroy your soul, art will remind you that you have one.

My goal through dance and choreography is to take everything experienced in life, the many spectrums of existence, its ugliness and its beauty, its suffering and its joy, and transform it into something that everyone can understand.

The process of observing, digesting, and transforming the myriad of life's experiences is what, to me, makes art interesting.

From suffering and ugliness, can we create healing and beauty? Can we collectively feel and be affected by life through art?

And can we do this so that the most mundane corner of the world is affected and made to feel included?

May we never abandon our curiosities nor our fears that push us to discover new realms of possibilities.

Corinne,

Hey girl. I'm just a blogger here like you but I am anointing myself the title of official "welcomer." Welcome!!!! I had read your biography a while back and was hoping someday we'd hear from you! I'm so glad you've joined us. Your website is awesome too.

Glad you've come alive for us! Come and write on your blog more often! We'd love to hear more about your philosophies and art!

Oh, yes, I forgot to say also that you might be interested in a post that Fred Joiner did a while back about his philosophy for his art:

A freestyle first meditation on being a force for good
