Is this real life?

I am frankly overwhelmed by the fact that I have am just entering the world of dance and technology.The possibilities at the intersection of movement- something so organic, and video- purely technological, are explosive. I was going to write this post about a video on Movement Research:http://www.dance-tech.net/video/movement-research-theResearch that is "process-oriented rather than product oriented" and public engagement in this process fascinates me. The more I surfed around dance-tech.net, the deeper I swam through crazy editing, choreography and some delicious music. Here's a quick shout-out to Carol Hess for bringing us to this website; thank you! I am now addicted.Tonight I was hooked on Cari Ann Shim Sham's work.Check out her videos at:http://www.dance-tech.net/profile/CariAnnShimShamand "Are you for real?" and "January" at:http://www.cariannshimsham.com/"Are you for real?" struck me most. Time management is an all too familiar struggle among, well, everyone. I personally have a very hard time deciding where and who to give more doses of my time and energy. This causes me to often feel like I have multiple identities, which can tire a mind faster than actually working hard on a single thing. The visual of a body covered in post its explains this feeling, a feeling of only being able to show certain parts of yourself because other parts are occupied by commitments and thus hidden, so simply. The "I know that feels!" light bulb in my head instantly went off when I saw this.
