"It is by long obedience and hard work that the artist comes to enforced spontaneity and consummate mastery. Knowing that he can never create anything on his own account, out of the top layers, so to speak, of his personal consciousness, he submits obediently to the workings of 'inspiration'; and knowing that the medium in which he works has its own self-nature, which must not be ignored or violently overridden, he makes himself its patient servant and, in this way, achieves perfect freedom of expression."

Tonight's discussion, video clips and performances were a really unique experience.

It was WONDERFUL to hear Basil give his inspirations and thoughts behind each of the pieces. And some great facts we hadn't heard. We had no idea that the band from "Arias with a Twist" was from Basil's father's collection...

(Insert 3000 words here why we are still giddy about being in the same room as Jane Henson and Cheryl Henson)

One of our favorite moments of the evening was when The Awaji Puppet Theater introduced their puppet to Basil's Ballerina from "Petrushka"
