Emerging

While I have been such an advocate for giving feedback through appreciation of specific events/moments we see at the end of an AUNT that delight us, I'm now wondering if even this way of building our 'myths' will deter the emerging properties of the next creative forms.

For instance, if I say I like the solo Bobby did with the 'flock/herd' moving in influence around the edges of the space (this was last Monday), and I don't mention another event, will this give the message that this other 'event' was not appreciated and therefore should die out?

We natually delight in the familiar, those performance images that we recognize and have enjoyed. But the emerging properties coming though spontaneous responses are not going to be familiar to us. How do we cultivate the delight in the more familier mythologies of our species and also support the unfamiliar, newly arising, soon-to-be-dominate experiences?

Can we still give feedback and know that if your actions were not mentioned they are still essential to the culture as a whole? It feels that the issue here is vitality, aliveness, responsiveness and a certain trust in being spontaneous without having a lot of second thoughts.

Perhaps the image of a certain event, say an AUNT, which is directed, polished, repeated, and coached,...over and over....happening in the space....at the same time as other present moment AUNTS are arising from the nowness of the space.... perhaps this kind of overlay will allow for a multiple field of aesthetics to emerge.
