titles are difficult

I've decided for our annual festival of student work next year that I want to artistic direct a dance show of some sort of integrity, gravity, and cultural relativity.  I've already begun the process of assembling a creative team, but that's the exact opposite of what I should be doing.  I need to have a cohesive and definitive vision and theme before I try and sell people on it.  I'm already being a bonehead by writing about it here, but I guess that this is the place where you talk candidly about goings on, so that's what I'm going to do.  Things here, and for me, are always stream of consciousness, not lyrical or intentional or beautiful.  I'm reminded of the writings of a certain synthetic who's diction is always so carefully crafted.  Perhaps I'm reckless, perhaps I just don't care.  

So, something relative....relative to me, to us, to the world?  Why the world...no one in Turkmenistan or Siberia is every going to see this or hear about it, why should I attempt to make it approachable to them.  So relative to us, here, this time, now, in....Pittsburgh?  No, the community.  What community?  Art?  Dance?  Theater?  21 year olds?  I know nothing of these communities, I'm such a small part of them, so insignificant, why should I try to make some grand statement for people who I don't even know?  Or for why should I make a statement at all if no one will hear about it or care?  I guess the people in the audience will see it, hopefully be affected.  Maybe they will tell other people.  The CMU community that comes to Playground is I guess fairly influential in the world, and becomes more so later on, in 10 years maybe, when they are performing in/designing for/managing the biggest and baddest pieces of performing arts in the world.

So...

Fuck it, I'm just going to to do something, something I want to do, something that speaks to me, and hope that other people out there feel the same way, or can feel some sort of universality to it.  After all, we are all human -- and maybe that's it.  Humanity.  The common human experience.
