Scott Kelman

--the conjurer, the dreamer, the one who loved to pull the rug out from under you and watch you find your form before you hit the ground. He wasn't easy, but he was real. He spoke his mind, he followed his vision. We have all benefited from his relentless pursuit of a way to live and create, being mindfully present moment after moment after moment. Allowing yourself to be informed--without reaching; giving up creative responsibility, yielding with energy, always asking yourself: "What haven't I checked out lately?", always seeking the space that needs you most- moment to moment. Practicing the process that he was continually developing has changed so many lives. His work took place in the realm of "Performance," but it was about so much more than theater. It was about the REAL performance, the one we all do every day.

Thank you Scott
