:::Dance:::Lil Buck & Yo-Yo Ma



this must be one of the most beautiful collaborations i have ever seen! Yo-Yo Ma is amazing in his own right, not just because he has a fresh name, but because his work is fabulous! now, Lil Buck is a name i am just hearing, but will not soon forget. his choreography to this classical piece was so moving and incredible, it left me speechless. in any case lovers and dreamers, enjoy :)

:::VIVA::: Carmen and Geoffrey!




i just finished watching a most inspirational film about the life and art of two most incredible human beings. Geoffrey Holder (Trinidad, stand up! Pow) and Carmen de Lavallade (Westside! Pow). this movie is about a beautiful union of two creative souls who came together and added to each others existence and contributed jointly to the world at large through dance, music, film, literature...you name it, they did it and i love it. the film about their lives and love "Carmen and Geoffrey" is currently running on Netflix and is also available on Amazon! enjoy and be inspired!
