But he has forgotten the point of art: the process.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, performing art is brief, a minute in the spotlight, a five minute solo (which by the way, is a long time to dance), the infamous walk on part.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All the audience sees is a polished performance<\/strong>, as if the artists simply walked onto a stage, or to the mic and here we are!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that\u2019s not the reality. Even if the whole performance was created with AI, someone had to tell it what to do.<\/p>\n<h2>Totems<\/h2>\n<p>Northwest Tribes carved totems from long wood poles to post in the village &#8211; guards of the longhouses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the mid 19th Century and beyond<\/strong>, artists like Emily Carr worried about neglect and decay. She ventured out to islands off the British Columbia shores to capture these amazing works of art and there by creating her own art.<\/p>\n<p>It was a way to share the totems with the public.<\/p>\n<p>Professional\u00a0 museum curators did one better. They frantically saved and transported what\u00a0 they correctly interpreted as irreplaceable expression of a dwindling national identity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In every North West museum there are stunning examples of totems<\/strong>, protected by state of the art buildings, or perserved in purpose-built glass boxes. Saved. Admired.<\/p>\n<p>But for native artists, preservation was not the point. Totems were carved from a natural substance (trees), raised, admired, then allowed to gradually decay and return to the earth.<\/p>\n<p>Totems were not meant to last forever, and the artists who created them knew this.<\/p>\n<h2>Dance was not meant to last<\/h2>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t even translate to video very effectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s a shared experience<\/strong>, as Virginia Woolf said, a moment of being.<\/p>\n<p>Dance is the creation, the process, and the practice.<\/p>\n<p>The final result almost doesn\u2019t matter. It was the practice that mattered, the camaraderie, creating something that required cooperation, team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Or practicing moves to music to find something new in your body<\/strong>, even your soul, a singular moment &#8211; for the artist.<\/p>\n<p>If the audience gets something out of the final performance, so be it.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not really the point. The point is the artist is changed, she had learned and conquered something new, she is more enriched for the experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creating and sharing work that purposefully<\/strong> does not last is one of the few remaining acts against The Man, against the grindingly dull commodification of everything.<\/p>\n<p>A live performance is like watching\u00a0 the last of the Nationalist rebels, the freedom fighters.<\/p>\n<p>Why art?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Because we need it<\/strong>. Because those five minutes on stage are a cumulation, and a gift to you. We are embroiled in the War of Art, fighting in the streets (albeit wearing sequins and towering wigs) for our souls and for yours.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to read more articles like this one Writer\u2019s Fun Zone? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/contact-beth\/#signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subscribe here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1RlgH6b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1rlgh6b noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12334\" title=\"Catharine Bramkamp\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Catharine-Bramkamp-pic-274x300.jpg\" alt=\"Catharine Bramkamp\" width=\"150\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Catharine-Bramkamp-pic-274x300.jpg 274w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Catharine-Bramkamp-pic-300x329.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Catharine-Bramkamp-pic.jpg 584w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1RlgH6b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catharine Bramkamp<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is a successful <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/yourbookstartshere.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">writing coach<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Chief Storytelling Officer, former\u00a0co-producer of Newbie Writers Podcast, and author of a dozen <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1i9eAlQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">books<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> including the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1HgxT4W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real Estate Diva Mysteries series<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1Tmil52\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Future Girls series<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
