"Return to the Trees" for a short time with Strings Attached
Still reeling, feeling invigorated and inspired after having seen the extraordinary “Return to the Trees” by Strings Attached and the beautiful Alejandro Rolandi and LeeAnne Litton at CarriageWorks Arts Centre.
Big ups to everyone involved - definitely one of the best pieces of physical theatre I’ve seen yet, and I’m not just saying it!

Review of the Australia Council
(A mamma of a read, and one that I’m yet to delve into, but worthwhile looking at for sure)
“On 19 December 2011 Arts Minister Simon Crean announced a review of the Australia Council, the Australian Government’s arts funding agency.
The purpose of the Review was to ensure that funding opportunities offered by the Australia Council reflect the diversity, innovation and excellence of Australia’s contemporary arts and cultural sector and that the Australia Council is well placed to support the goals of the National Cultural Policy.
In line with the terms of reference, the Review considered whether the Australia Council’s legislative purpose remains relevant, and whether the Council’s administrative and governance structures facilitate the delivery of robust outcomes to Australia’s contemporary arts and cultural sector…”

Questions no one knows the answers to
“In a new TED-Ed series designed to catalyze curiosity, TED Curator Chris Anderson shares his obsession with questions that no one (yet) knows the answers to.”
A lovely lullaby full of wonder and possibility…
Steve Jobs "The Success Mindset" via uncluttered white spaces
“When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money.That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact, and that is – everything around you that you call life, was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.The minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something will, you know if you push in, something will pop out the other side, that you can change it, you can mould it. That’s maybe the most important thing. It’s to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you’re just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it. I think that’s very important and however you learn that, once you learn it, you’ll want to change life and make it better, cause it’s kind of messed up, in a lot of ways. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.” Steve Jobs – 1994 interview for the PBS “One Last Thing” Documentary.

Simon Sinek’s “How great leaders inspire action” at TED
An appropriate re-emergence from my Tumblr hibernation…
What I love about this is how simple it is - the key to leadership ultimately being sharing what you believe. Everything else can follow.
And then of course there’s the very accessible “Golden Circle” and “Law of Diffusion of Innovation” enabling the every(wo)man like me to understand how to be someone who leads rather than a “leader”.
So what do I believe in? Indeed. And what do you?
