WINNING VIDEO


UNDER18 WINNER

Vuil and Glass

Vuil & Glass is a modern choreography by Conny Janssen with 8 cellist playing Philip Glass live. A fascinating 90 minutes for a really good performance of 4 couples of dancers accompanied by 8 cellists. If you have the chance to see it live, go! I loved it... the democratic choice was a wise one.

In the Rotterdam version, the stage was set up differently, there was no conductor and some sequences were slightly different than the ones presented in that video. Maybe because one dancer was injured.

Rotterdamse Schouwburg

When I went back in Holland a few weeks ago, we decided to do something special on saturday night. After several rounds of democratic negotiation we chose Rotterdam, the Schouwburg, modern dans and live cellists. It was really good!

Festa della DonnA 2010

The 8th of March is the International Women's Day. You can be in favor, neutral or against it... You can celebrate or ignore it... You are a man or a woman and on that day, in Italy you should better be a woman! Apparently this day is more recognized in countries where there is less gender equality. On the other hand, I can still not position the role of italian women on a scale. It's something I don't fully understand. Anyway, good news for you if you travel in Italy around Women's Day is that the entrance to public museums will be free for you!! And that's pretty cool, two years ago I visited the UFFIZI in Florence for free, this year I went to the Museo Nazionale d'Arte Orientale (http://www.museorientale.beniculturali.it). Then the second tradition for the 8th of March is Mimosa. You shall better not be allergic! I woke up on Tuesday with mimosa on my door :) it just doesn't last long... At the canteen they even prepared special yellow dishes. And last funny anecdote for women's day is that it was a cold day. I arrive in the office and the chief was kissing every lady. However before our cheeks touch, the air charges up and I give him an electric discharge!

-my mimosa-

My day started with a kiwi. And then was made of 5 indians in black suit wearing the same tie (!), 800 Bill of Lading too much, 2x2 euros WFP coins, light brown soft sugar (mmmh de la vergeoise blonde), tropical rain and some work!

My week-end

My week-end in Lyon was made of special moments that are hard to word.

Wind&dust, velob', blue siesta, an old spanish storyteller, unexpected wiedersehen, lutte anti-ibuprofen, quiches^3, my father is called "Monsieur Grenouille", fruits collection... just to name a few...
