Go Obama Go!


Dang! I am so excited by what is happening in the US right now!
I left when Bush was re-elected, does this mean I shall return? Prodigal daughter and all.

Pina Bausch



I was lucky enough to be able to go and see Pina Bausch at Sadlers Wells theatre in London this past week! My friend Paul invited me and I was over the moon!
We went on the night of the full moon lunar eclipse!
We saw Cafe' Mueller with music by Henry Purcell and Rites of Spring to Igor Stravinsky.
The house was packed and the energy was tremendous. We were extremely happy to be there and surrounded by such intent. Pina Bausch herself was indisposed that night and did not perform in Cafe' Mueller but she did come out and take a bow to a standing ovation at the end.
The work leaves me wordless. And I need some time to find a way to express myself but what I can say is do not miss an opportunity to see her work if you ever can!
