Great Performance + Words of Wisdom From Multimedia TED Presenter

TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is an annual event that presents individuals doing extraordinary work in these three areas. I have posted several wonderful videos and the one below featuring multimedia director and performer Natasha Tsako is another standout.

Natasha is a Swiss born artist living in Miami and performing there and around the world. Her appearance at TED last year featured excerpts from her one-woman show, UP WAKE, that integrates sound, computer generated images and a live stage performance. Her performance is amazing and her empowering concluding comments on the video are powerful. I have extracted them so readers can appreciate their depth. Enjoy!

“A bitterwseet, funny, tragic world with existentialist shades of Samuel Beckett and especially Marcel Marceau.     “Octavio Roca, Miami New Times

There is a revolution
It’s a human and technological revolution
It’s motion and emotion
It’s information.

It’s visual, musical, sensorial, conceptual, it’s Universal

It’s beyond words and numbers:
It’s happening.

The natural progression of science and art finding each other to touch and define the human experience.

There is a revolution in the way we think, share and express our stories, our evolution.
This is a time of communication, connection, and creative collaboration.
Charlie Chaplin innovated motion pictures and told stories through music, silence, humor and poetry.

He was social and his character, The Tramp, spoke to millions. He gave entertainment pleasure and relief to so many human beings when they needed it the most.

We are not here to question the possible but to challenge the impossible.

In the science of today, we become artists.

In the art of today, we become scientists.
We design our world. We invent possibilities.
We teach, touch and move.
It is now that we can use the diversity of our talent

to create intelligent, meaningful and extra-ordinary work.

It’s now.

Revealing the True Source of Freedom



A Visual Journey of Life

Rainbows

Precious rainbows in the sky, rejoice and glimmer within mine eye.

The ancient knowledge you withhold of worlds forgotten, worlds of old.

Your beams of light penetrate my mind, and curiosity seeks another time to find a curtain so tightly woven with all secrets waiting to unravel, unfold.

Behold, the sun comes peeking through, each moment rising for a greater view.

And as its light shines within the secret curtain begins to dim.

To reveal the truth known by all, in the depth of minds the search begins.

As rainbows colors come together, one white light, a crystallization.

In this moment of elation I truly know we are creation

by Denice Lewis

Up and Down

Up

Releasing the branches of illusion
I fall into the Unknowing
My old friend finally naked
Recognized for the first time without ornament
The laughing fool prostrates for no reason
And for nobody
Tears of gratitude merge with an ocean of indifference

I am alone
My presence the mother of time
My silence the father of space
I am the palette before all points
Beyond language and syntax

This Truth is its own arbiter
From here there is no mountain
From here there is no there

Down

The Madonna’s gaze magnetizes my heart
And turns me inside out
She stares at me now from a thousand faces
At once foreign and familiar
Her love running down our cheeks
Catalyzing all in its path
With wonder, innocence and vulnerability

The immediacy of this divine
Overwhelming distance and division
Penetrates our cells and graces our souls

This Love is its own emancipation
From here I exult in the mountain
From here I am seamlessly there.

This is a poem by Waking Down in Mutuality teacher, Fax Gilbert.
