Traveling tales and adventures in dance, theatre, art and culture. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. The Salvador Dalì museum in Montmarte, is a weird and wonderful place. It’s full of sculptures of his famous melting clocks, creatures with the bodies of elephants and the legs of giraffes, lots of unusual religious imagery and the famous Lobster Telephone. In a word, it’s surreal! The sculpture that struck me the most was Homage à Terpischore. Salvador Dali's Hommage a Terpsichore. 1977-1984 Bronze. I think of...

Traveling tales and adventures in dance, theatre, art and culture. Saturday, March 7, 2015. Paris Opéra Ballet: Le Chant de la Terre. To everything, turn, turn, turn…. There is a season, turn, turn, turn…. And a time to every purpose under heaven…. That iconic song from the 1960’s band ‘ The Byrds’. Was in no way part of Le Chant de la Terre. Le Chant de la Terre. Spring was easily identified by the lush greens and blues in Neumeier’s lighting design, the soft pastel colours of the costumes and the...

Mother disapproves of Boy, prefers Other Boy for Girl. Other Boy is a fool. Girl and Boy get married. The Chickens dance and the Peasants rejoice. The amazing ceiling at Opera Garnier by artist Marc Chagall. Such is the plot of La Fille Mal Gardée. We could see two performances for our seats: the dance and the music. This ballet’s accessi...

In honor of International Dance Day 2015, I’m so proud to introduce the newest member of my dance family: my very own, custom-made Barre!

Traveling tales and adventures in dance, theatre, art and culture. Friday, October 31, 2014. Rope presented by the Fletcher Players in Cambridge. Laminated marketing in the UK. One of the sights that kept popping up while I visited Cambridge, UK was the countless posters covering the iron wrought fences, advertising theatre productions, music performances, Remembrance Day services, Singing and Dancing Lessons. They were everywhere and they were even laminated. To protect them from the weather - brilliant!

The Christmas season is here and that means curling up on a cold day and watching some classic Christmas films! Christmas film does all of the above, but it has a little something extra, a delicate sprinkle of nostalgia, warmth and timelessness, when watching it year after year becomes its own Christmas tradition. Stands out as one of the chorus members in the big song ...
