The stage is set apart for dance at festivals (The Independent)

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:39:59 GMT

At least the dancers should be away from any mud. At Latitude, most of the dance performances will be on a stage in a lake. Today's final rehearsals will include assessments of damp, mosquitoes and lights bouncing off the water. Technicians are standing by with mops, to keep the stage dry.

Updates (Wheelchair Dancer)

I'm supposed to be breathing right now. Not that regular taking in and out of air, but that studied, collected and collecting, deeply relaxing breathing. I'm supposed to be breathing and feeling the stress wash away. I've had my bath; Wizard (who is dying of West Nile virus, Ebola, and bird flu all at once) is crashed out on the bed; the cats have crashed on the pillows and heating pads; and I am supposed...

Review: 'Mamma Mia!' (New York Newsday)

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:02:33 GMT

Abba-dabba-don't. A terrific cast that can't sing or dance, plus a veteran stage director who can't direct a film. You can see the problem here.

2-3 AM (Wheelchair Dancer)

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 05:08:00 GMT

...the time when fears seem largest and hardest. I woke up with a sense that I was going to spasm and that when I did I would be locked into a position from which no one would ever move me. I would be, forever, a frozen fetal position. "Are you hurting?" Wizard asked. But he was asleep before he heard the answer. I didn't spasm. But something in my left side kicked and released. I relaxed and went...

Miss Universe 2008 (Unseal my Lips)

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:12:00 GMT

I grow up watching Miss Universe . Since I moved to the US, I haven't seen a single one in its entirety for 17 years. Last night, I caught the last half hour of the show. I think the most fun part of the show is when they have all the contestant in the stage and they dance and present themselves. Last night, for the first time I have ever seen it, the previous Ms. Universe did her walk wearing...
