To be flexible is the ability to adapt to situations not in your control. It is a major component to happiness, world peace, and making art. Since I am only qualified to address art...with flexibility comes growth. It is the willingness to change direction, to bend, to try new methods and new materials. It does not mean to give up on ones sense of self...which brings to mind a 16 year old in one of my earlier pre-college drawing and painting intensives. Her earnest response: "But I've always been doing it this way!"
With gestures, flexibility is key.
