aidan, the performing artist

November 16th, 2008
by Michael

Aidan has been venturing further into the performing arts as of late. He loves the act of creation in the moment, the act of performance–from music, to theater, to song, to dance. In the four video clips of this post, you can see a little of everything. My personal favorite is his tap dance rendition. He seems to have some raw talent there, but I suppose I am biased. (Note that this post has multiple pages with one video per page, so be sure to click the links at the bottom to move through all four pages.)

First we have Aidan with grandma’s guitar. He is drawn to strings and enjoys strumming but resists any thing that might resemble instruction (which is typical for him). He likes to place his fingers about the frets and strum–listening for variations in tone and vibration. Here we see him demonstrating his unique method of experimentation; a rare musical performance, as he is not nearly as comfortable with this form of expression as he is with other forms.

    Well, I must say that I am quite impressed with his talents. I like the Guitar playing but my favorite is the tap dancing also. He seems to enjoy this so much. I would love to see him doing the Irish Dance, what do you think? Keep up the good work of exposing him to all the arts, to see what his favorites are and what he will excel in.
    Good show Aidan!

    Great clips! My favorite is the guitar solo…I’m a sucker for a good guitar solo! I’d sure love an invitation to his next performance…either at home or in the studio! You’re a talented young man, Aidan :)
