We initiate conversations, we
ask questions, we put out our
ideas, we listen, we invite
people, we make plans.
We use our imagination.
We don’t fear to dream.We don’t fear to be ridiculous. We don’t fear to look naïve. We dare to want the best.
We embrace intuition, knowledge
and constant learning. QuickTime™ and a

We connect with others who nurture similar ideas.
We share knowledge. We trust.
We collaborate.
We become social choreographers

shaping ideas and emotions
transforming the space
performing the dance while the dance is being created.
