Emotional Connection

We discussed in class today the connection between a persons emotions how this can effect what they decide or how they perform. Everyone has different emotions due to the life experiences that they have faced, this can play a role in how they may view something or perform as we discussed in class today. However to a certain degree I think that a choreographed routine is just that completely choreographed, the people in it may have somewhat different facial expressions but not much; they went through training and work to perform a piece that is matched and in unison. So therefore although everyone can experience different emotions I think that it is still possible for them to perform the same after working together. Do you agree with this idea, do you think that there is a possibility for people to perform synchronized although people have different emotions?

Fetish

Since we have begun to read about Piper we have discussed how certain works of art can suddenly become viewed as fetishes to us. Or perhaps they were a fetish to that particular person all along. Needless to say, that isn't the intention of art. It is meant to be enjoyed and respect the intent that the artist had. However for something to become a fetish is not quite a good idea because that is when it just because an obsession. Do you think that a fetish with art is ever a good thing?
