My husband and I enjoy the symphony. At the Rite of Spring
show recently, I read that the 1913 score Stravinsky composed was
revolutionary. This seemed like an odd way to describe the piece, but as I read
on I discovered that its premiere actually caused a riot. In the years since, several
commentators have referred to that event as the definitive beginning of 20th
century music. My guess is that Stravinsky hadn’t intended to cause such an
uproar but, in following his passion, he created something unlike anything else.
In the work I do, sometimes an uproar
can be a simple recommendation to the client—a suggestion to approach their
project in a new way. While my intention may not be to cause a stir, it can
certainly happen. I understand that inspiring sessions must be created in a
unique manner and must be memorable. This can be scary. It can feel like a
risk. And it can cause an uproar.
What are you creating that might cause an uproar?
