Hi Rosa,
I love Cirque du Soleil. The music, the movement, the artistry. I never really try to figure out the story, I just sit there and soak it in with little understanding yet full appreciation.

Aloha David, we are of a like mind on this! There is so very much to appreciate, and within the gratitude for what we are seeing I would say that we end up understanding quite a bit more.

Rosa - I, too, am a Cirque fan. I have always thought that it would be great for a senior team to go to a show the day before a strategic planning meeting. I have never been able to test this theory, but I bet it would make for better and richer imagination.

What a terrific idea Lisa! Each Cirque show is available on video, however I'm not sure you can get the same effect unless you have a mega-sized screen with surround sound ... and perhaps a CEO willing to provide those costume and set-changing breaks that the Cirque clowns normally do!
I did a SP retreat for a hotel group in Las Vegas last June, and we DID see a Cirque show then (that was when I saw KÀ) - but it was the final night event as a thank you from the CEO for everyone's hard work and focus; we never thought of doing it first!
Let's invoke the "Law of Attraction" here and get this chance to happen for one of us - or both, and together!

I too am enchanted by Cirque in almost equal parts the show itself and how they do it.
I endorse the idea of a joint viewing; sharing the experience is a wonderful thing. You can always come back to something specific that occured with someone from the group and they will be able to make the connection! These connections help to make the learning last as it will have tied play (the show), love (your sharing) and work (the connection) together.
Yes, I am enthralled with the Power Of Play by David Elkind which I just completed a review of the book.
Thanks for sharing Rosa! I want to go! I want to go now!
