Like a Dance

Being new to this blogging thing I wondered how these pages could be archived. Not just the archiving within the site but for all time or as long as technology would allow.

As I thought about this I thought of a friend and client who is a dancer/choreographer, Jeanne Ruddy. She is currently creating her latest dance, Breathless. Hours and hours, days and days, weeks and weeks – even months and months go into the creation and practice of a new dance – by many, many people. And the result is over in a short period of time. It may be repeated and it may be recorded. But the actual act of the dance it’s self is a moment in time.

It seems to me that a web experience is like that. One may plan what they wish to say or it may be off the top of their head but the experience and interaction with others is in the moment – fleeting and not meant to be captured.
