A Dance of Gravity | Matthew Rogers | TEDxUCLA


your life could change instantly at any
random moment like mine did shifts in
our monotonous world causes disruptive
pressures against us these pressures
influence who we are and who we will
become we can choose to reject the
influence of these pressures because
they are not physical but that does not
make them disappear suspending
redirecting surrendering defying and
balancing
these are ways that we can manipulate
pressures suspending a quality of
movement that creates the impression of
effortlessness in life we can suspend
our issues holding on until we are
strong enough to act on them redirecting
to ship the focus or energy in a new
direction in some cases the best way to
release ourselves from our own turmoil
is to help someone resolve theirs
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
surrendering to cease resistance and
give into the void mayhem in life is
overwhelming at times and feeding into
the madness only adds fuel to the fire
stress is sometimes like a Chinese
finger trap the more you resist or get
worked up
the tighter the pressure but when you
relax and give into the constraint your
whole world opens up defying resisting
and disobeying pressures constraining
you rebel against what does not feel
right currently we are at an amazing
time where people are defying labels
that once restrain them from who they
truly are balancing the ability to
centralize weight without being
influenced one way or another scales are
a symbol of balance showing that all
actions have a correlated reaction we
align our body center of gravity and
relationship to Earth’s gravitational
force
[Music]
you
[Music]
everyone feels pressures constraining
them in some manner just because we are
unable to see something does not mean it
does not exist for us dances are
released from tension that is
continuously being built
dancers manipulate pressures as their
art form
[Music]
[Applause]
