Today we watched a video of Yoann Bourgeois, a French aerobatic dancer, performing his piece entitled Success Isn’t Linear. As he ascends the staircase, he repeatedly falls off, bouncing off a trampoline, and alighting again on the staircase. We can see him reaching as he climbs, and despite multiple falls, he continues working his way to the top. In addition to the carefully choreographed movements, how does the music add to the overall feeling of the piece?
In what ways does this concept of Success Isn’t Linear relate to the First Peoples’ Learning Principle that “learning takes patience and time?”
