The second day at Semi Permanent was nothing short of magical. The poets and the artists took Day 2 to a whole new level never before reached in the history of Semi Permanent in Auckland.
Completing this little mini series, here are the top 12 tips I took away from Day 2:
1. Go into that scary challenge and try your hardest to just learn
2. It is your collective responsibility to exploit the opportunities that modernism has laid out for you
3. Imagination is hope, hope is all you need
4. Remember, you live in a small place in a time when smallness is no longer a constraint
5. The work you make here must not just be good here, it must be good everywhere
6. In the absence of knowledge there is hope
7. In this fast paced world, if it is real time it isn't relevant
8. Try and bring people to your part of the world instead of always thinking of getting away
9. Always produce or perform with one foot in the audience
10. Say yes and figure the rest out later
11. Go the extra mile
12. You are here for such a short time so you need to make the most of every opportunity

I am so so very impressed with Semi Permanent and the caliber of speakers. I would recommend it to any creative and I hope to see you there next year in August!!
