bangorballetboy Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 To be honest, I find this "Karen" thing that some people have got going highly unpleasant and extremely offensive. Tends to say more about the person using the term than anything else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also so special because making the mundane like sitting down look so beautiful and to create that comedy as they do.. joyous! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninamargaret Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I'd love to see this instead of the usual cringe making version we get! It's the best I've seen since Morecombe and Wise had a go at it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan McNulty Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I should have been at The Lowry this week enjoying Northern Ballet's gorgeous production of Cinderella. Northern Ballet and NB Sinfonia have released this short video of some of the Sinfonia playing Cinderella's solo entrance to the ball. It is introduced by composer Philip Feeney.

Buddy Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I thought that this might be a nice place to recount something. It was a lovely afternoon yesterday and I was walking down the beautiful, tree lined Avenue of Beautiful Trees when I looked into the window of Loves Department Store. It was full of cheerful, sunshiny colored clothing. Suddenly a bright pink 1956 convertible pulled up to the curb and out jumped four beautiful young women dressed in cheerful, sunshiny colored dresses. The car radio wasn’t on but I was sure that I heard Mozart arias being sung by Elvis Presley. Two of the young women dashed into Loves Department Store. Another grabbed a hurried young businessman and started dancing the Bugaloo, I Love You — For Two. Out came the young women loaded with toys that they gave to every little child that they saw passing by. Then they all jumped back into the car except for one who undauntedly strutted into the crosswalk, wowing all onlookers and stopping all traffic, to help an elderly lady find her way to the other side of the avenue. She got back in and they all drove off into the setting sun, leaving behind a giant mist of butterflies and roses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) "Astronomy Picture of the Day" — Well, sort of. 😊 https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200614.html “Explanation: What are these humans doing? Dancing. Many humans on Earth exhibit periods of happiness, and one method of displaying happiness is dancing. Happiness and dancing transcend national boundaries and occur in practically every human society. Above, Matt Harding traveled through many nations on Earth, planned on dancing, and filmed the result. The featured video, one in a series of similar videos, is perhaps a dramatic example that humans from all over planet Earth feel a common bond as part of a single species. Happiness is frequently contagious -- few people are able to watch the featured video without smiling.” Edited June 14, 2020 by Buddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I hope people can see the glorious Momoko Hirata's Rose Adagio with Birmingham Royal Ballet. I was privileged to see her debut (with Alexander Campbell) in 2010(?) and I knew from the moment she stepped on stage that we were in for something very special ... and I was right!

This was published on the BRB Facebook page yesterday: Thanks so for this Jan. I remember seeing this pairing (Hirata/Campbell) in the stunning Wright production at a Wednesday BRB matinee performance at the Coliseum. It was truly magical. This clip brought back so many wonderful memories. If a film of the whole rehearsal was a available I do wish BRB might stream it. I'm sure many of their patrons would be entirely delighted. Of course, I'm confident there are many reasons why this may not be possible. Still the memory pervades ... and this is a delightful souvenir. Thank you.

Buddy Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 From the archives. (Where the Hell is Matt? 2012.

Lovely, Jan. Thank you. I go hiking as often as I can and I can really empathise with this. A little heavy on the final message, perhaps, but the video is lovely.
