What is Magic?

Magic is making the impossible possible. Magic is dreaming in color. Magic is dancing to live music that sounds like thinking and looks like clouds. Magic is the moment when inspiration strikes and movement rains forth like a torrential downpour. Magic is the moment of orgasm. Magic is poetry, music, dance, and design frolicking in the same sandbox with the seriousness of a child at play while making a statement as silly as a belly laugh in a war zone. Magic is the silence of a roomful of people captivated by the collective experience of kinetic art. Magic is the intake of breath before the lights hit skin and the dance begins. Magic is finding a kindred spirit and knowing that words are unnecessary. Magic is the cathartic release of sobbing. Magic is casual human contact among strangers. Magic is melting a hardened resolve with unexpected beauty, elegance, and grace. Magic is asking the tough questions. Magic is finding the answers. Magic is holding hands with a baby. Magic is the collective conscious choosing hope when faced with despair. Magic is the elevated experience brought on by the element of surprise. Magic is making the ordinary elements of daily life extraordinary through an artist’s surreal vantage point. Magic is a happy accident stealing the show. Magic is solving the linear equation to create a circular event. Magic is running when the rule says walk. Magic is finding the lines within the color. Magic is the sound of waves crashing on the beach under a full moon. Magic is the fragrance of Spring in the morning. Magic is the art of illuminating life – onstage, and off.
