anj did a five for friday list and i liked it. the topic is: Name 5 experiences of the performing Arts that have touched or tickled you...
i wasn't tagged, i haven't been playing in the blog world for so long, and it is a monday;)
but here are mine...
1. birth... it is definitely an artistic performance of epic proptions, between doctors, nurses, neonatalogist, given my highrisk babies...and the other births i have been privileged to attend! there is anticipation, drama, climax, celebration, loss and hope in every telling!
2. Six grade all county chorus performance, by with my eldest daughter performing. her hands gracefully moving to some lyrics about "be-ing her own person, a child with potential" my eyes welled up with tears.
3. hirschhorn outdoor garden sculpture: "Resting" i turned the corner, and there she was, on day when i desparately needed her...
4. Les Miserables... everytime, is saw it performed... but the first time with my husband , when Colm Wilkerson, played Val Jean changed my life.
5. Fiddler on the Roof, @ Wolf Trap in Virginia
Welcome back to the blogosphere!! I thought you had left us for good. I LOVE that you include birth - that is about as LIVE as you get. Those would definately be on my list too.

I agree. Birth would have to be top on my list, and Les Mes a triumph, especially seeing it with Lenny, "who never is moved by stuff like that" and had wet eyes before it ended. I think I shall have to answer this question at my site just to get it out of my system!
love ya, and I'm all over that coffee idea!
