A Chance to Fail

As I mentioned elsewhere, I saw Mathew Bourne speak last night about creating Play without Words. In telling the story he mentioned that it was to be an experimental work, so that gave him a "chance to fail" – I just loved that statement and thought about how liberating that perspective could be.

So I thought I pose this questions – what might you attempt to do, if you were given the “chance to fail” i.e. there would be no negative consequence to the act, other than you might not succeed in your "experiment?"

I need to comtemplate this a bit for myself, but I know on the one side is feeding my wanderlust, that is to pick up and move to a foreign place, such as Paris, and see if I could actually live there in a comfortable fashion. Another part of me wonders about the risks I might take in being more creative, such as taking a leave of absence to write a novel - hmmm maybe in Paris...

But what might you try if failure was okay?
