DANCE: Four Temperaments - San Francisco Ballet

Being an Artist and sensing. 

The challenge for the artist is to communicate not with a made-up, superficial, unconnected and ego-driven expression, but with a deeply felt experience of being alive . If you, the performer does not feel, the audience will not either. 

The artist challenge is to be at peace enough inside, when dancing, so to have a sense that he or she exist. 

Less tension in the chest shoulders and arms not only bring stability and balance but allows a sense of self that is needed to be and to dance .
