It’s really worth watching. From the idea of “one buttock playing” to Zander’s definition of himself and of the director’s role,  so near to the essence of being a teacher, in my view, it’s around 20 minutes of true inspiration.

This is a perfect way to start a day, better even if it’s a Monday morning. Particularly if one has the guts to follow the advice.
