About that powerful person

I love this tidbit from choreographer Miguel Gutierrez's "spring/summer spewsletter," recounting his encounter with a fellow 2010 Guggenheim fellow:

I TRIED TO EXPLAIN MY PROPOSED PROJECT TO A PLANT BIOLOGIST, WHOSE EYES SORTA GLAZED OVER. I GUESS EVEN THE INTELLIGENTSIA JUST WANT YOU TO TELL ‘EM THAT WHAT YOU DO LOOKS LIKE “SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE...”

Yes, well, have you ever tried to adequately explain a Gutierrez piece to someone outside the loop?

Well...have you?

Precisely.

Congratulations on that fellowship, Miguel!
