INSPIRATIONS! (Believe it or not, this was one of my
first musical inspirations! Show me yours!)

DANCE
By French coreographer Maurice Bejart
I thought the music was Brazilian, but a French friend
told me it is from Republic of Chad!

BOOK
Memories, Dreams, Reflections by C. G. Jung from 1961
“I feel very strongly that I am under the influence of
things or questions which were left incomplete and
unanswered by my parents and grandparents and more
distant ancestors.”

MOVIE
Vinícius (documentary/ 2005)
The black and white scenes of Rio at the opening of
the movie took my breath away.
