“Epiphany” by Natia Chikvaidze Dance Company

Artist is a priest of eternal imagination, transmuting the daily bread of experience into the radiant body of everliving life. ( James Joyce) It got me thinking about Epiphanies and how often they show up in our lives. A light turns on, we have that aha moment where a realization hits home in a way it hasn’t before. It’s enlightening and can be life changing. What we do with the Epiphany — the awakening — is what matters, right? The doing looks different for everyone. Sometimes the doing is not actually “doing” anything. It’s being the Epiphany. Living the realization, one day, one hour, being one moment, one second at a time. It’s returning to the feeling evoked when the bells of Epiphany first started ringing . Epiphanies feed creativity, particularly when we follow them, court them, nurture them, build relationships with them, introduce them to others so they can flourish and become something beyond themselves. Relationships between the beings who inhabit the stage are the starting-point of endless explorations inside bodies and minds. As they zoom in and out, we embark on a journey from microscopic impressions to macroscopic feelings as huge as… the most grossly misshapen of superlative realities. This world of psyche and emotion, with rules that are both strict and organic.
