The ING of it All
with Jess Maynard

We are never static. In this month’s MICHA Monday, actor and photographer Jess Maynard will bring concentration to the moments between, luxuriating in change, and finding ease in transformation. Playing with Expanding and Contracting, participants will have the opportunity to engage in the power and radiation of a simple choice. Participants are asked to bring in a few lines of text they would like to play with.

Members Join for Free!

“Don’t think that when you are acting in New York you don’t influence the whole world; you do. When you are acting badly, you don’t influence anyone, but if you do something really significant, then you influence the whole world. If you act well today, you will see the result of your good acting in another part of the earth—it will not be so obvious immediately, but the streams are coming and going around the whole earth.”

“To be humble enough and to be brave enough, this is the composition. Because to be only brave is the way to the madhouse, and to be only modest means to die before death comes.
The composition of the two things makes the real life.”
