The world is waiting for you.
Prepare for a career focused on international service. The Global Studies major is designed to help students think critically about global issues from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.
The major is structured around intellectual and experiential frameworks that empower students to analyze, adapt, communicate, problem-solve, and empathize in a variety of professional and personal networks. The unique structure of the major, one that emphasizes interdisciplinary study also promotes self-reliance, leadership and team skills. It is precisely these skills and attitudes that will allow our graduates to lead in their respective workplaces and communities - settings increasingly infused with global forces.
Virtually every professional educational forum (e.g., American Council on Education, Association of American Colleges and Universities, etc.) strongly endorses the idea of globalizing the educational experience of our students. Indeed, like many institutions across the country, the UA has aggressively pursued internationalization/globalization agendas over the past two decades. This institutional innovation has been in direct response to a variety of metrics showing that corporate, government and non-governmental institutions have urged that the U.S. workforce be better able to manage the realities of a globalized world.
A major assumption of our program is that many of the most effective and lasting educational, research, and outreach opportunities take place outside the classroom. Therefore our major is constructed to reward and encourage a variety of co-curricular and alternative educational activities to extend and complement the traditional classroom.
In short, we want our students equipped to explore:
- Intercultural understanding and communication: acquiring the skills and knowledge to engage in cross-cultural collaboration (whether at the personal, community, or state level)
- Global contextualization of the professions: the global/international settings in the exercise of the professions citizenship and leadership in the global context (ethics and values involved in global challenges such as sustainability, race, gender, etc.)
And last, our goals are to have graduates that can:
- Collaborate. Graduates will be empowered with skills, knowledge, and experience to collaborate with individuals and organizations across cultural backgrounds.
- Lead. Graduates will be empowered with confidence and capacity to collaborate and lead across cultural boundaries.
- Adapt. Graduates will be empowered with the capacity to transcend constraints of time and place, and to feel comfortable in diverse teams and work settings.
Global Studies is the right major for you if you want to...
- increase your understanding of our interconnected world.
- examine global phenomena through the lenses of multiple disciplines.
- identify and assess global trends.
- pursue a career focused on international service.
Global Studies students choose from the following concentrations:

HMCS Summerside crew to see Nova Scotia history in Sierra Leone
Crew will visit Freetown, which was settled by group of Black Loyalists who left Nova Scotia for Africa
HMCS Moncton and HMCS Summerside are bound for training in the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, but it's a side trip with a Nova Scotia connection that's got the crew of one of the vessels excited.
The two Halifax-based ships will participate in training exercises with 20 other nations as part of a mission dubbed Neptune Trident.
For the commanding officer of the Summerside, Lt.-Cmdr. Paul Smith, a visit to Freetown, Sierra Leone, will be the highlight.
The city was founded by a group called the Nova Scotian Settlers — Black Loyalists who arrived in Nova Scotia after the American Revolution with the promise of land and a better life.
When that promise didn't pan out as expected, nearly 1,200 men, women and children left Nova Scotia in 1792 to start over in Africa.
Volunteer work
"I look forward to seeing what the culture is like there and seeing the Nova Scotia and Canadian influences," said Smith, the first black naval commander in the Royal Canadian Navy.
While in Freetown, Smith and the crew of HMCS Summerside plan to volunteer at different orphanages, where donated clothes, supplies and cash will be delivered.
"We'll be doing work at a couple of orphanages there and one of the main orphanages supports children who have lost both parents to the Ebola outbreak," Smith said.
Visit to famed Cotton Tree
They will take the children to see Freetown's sacred Cotton Tree, which is where the settlers saw locals praying when they first arrived.
"There is a plaque to the [Nova Scotian] Settlers there and to be able to take the orphans there and explain the significance and connection to Nova Scotia is very exciting to me," said Smith.
The deployment is scheduled to last for more than two months.

Creating effective campaign could be very tricky. We need to really understand both our objective and our audiences. We need to craft our strategy to achieve our goal through the campaign.

$27.00ISBN: 9780374280062Availability: On Our Shelves NowPublished: Sarah Crichton Books - October 8th, 2019
Once in a great while a book strips you to the marrow. Erosion did this to me. Undid me completely. I've been—we've all been—desperate in this time of desecration and destruction. Terry Tempest Williams holds up a mirror for us, reflecting our pain by showing us hers in both a personal and a global sense, not only forcing us to look squarely at the political and environmental landscapes, but to regard them from new angles. In the first essay she makes clear that the world she so loves is disintegrating, herself along with it, and that the only way to fight off despair is to not just see the erosion of so much that we love for what it is, the pain of it, but, as her father tells her, to stare it down. The pain of it. The grief. The metaphors for doing so are as rich and varied as the earth she writes of. The night vision of owls, the helping hand of community, the reality reflected in bleached bones....The cast of characters who populate our ravaged world are all there in vivid prose and poetry as well: owl, sage grouse, prairie dog, polar bear, protesters, storytellers, drillers, politicians, all crisscrossing the eroding landscape, hiding, flying wild, denying, meeting, fighting. The price she's paid for her own fight is recited, the loss of a job, a way of life, a landscape, as she seeks answers in other places, at Harvard Divinity School where she now teaches, attempting to learn about the ongoing erosion not only of place but of community and of the body politic, of democracy. The erosion, in other words, of all we know. Her brother dies. Suicide. The unthinkable pain of it. Our future, eroding as we watch. The need to fight—and, finally, the hope that can come. The fight for Bears Ears now in court, the fight for San Juan County, won against all odds. Her view is not from the peaks of wilderness but from bedrock—the only place we can viscerally feel the need for change.

In the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president's behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests, according to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation. The inquiry carried explosive implications. Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the president's own actions constituted a possible threat to national security. Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscow's influence. [New York Times]
IT TAKES a moment to absorb the potential implications.
It was all done in plain sight.
It's impossible to know where this investigation could lead.
A lot of the criticism seems to be driven by the notion that the FBI's investigation was, and is, an effort to undermine or discredit President Trump. That assumption is wrong. The FBI's investigation must be viewed in the context of the bureau's decades-long effort to detect, disrupt and defeat the intelligence activities of the governments of the Soviet Union and later the Russian Federation that are contrary to the fundamental and long-term interests of the United States. The FBI's counterintelligence investigation regarding the 2016 campaign fundamentally was not about Donald Trump but was about Russia. Full stop. It was always about Russia. It was about what Russia was, and is, doing and planning. Of course, if that investigation revealed that anyone—Russian or American—committed crimes in connection with Russian intelligence activities or unlawfully interfered with the investigation, the FBI has an obligation under the law to investigate such crimes and to seek to bring those responsible to justice. The FBI's enduring counterintelligence mission is the reason the Russia investigation will, and should, continue—no matter who is fired, pardoned or impeached (emphasis added). – James Baker, former FBI attorney [quoted in Lawfare]

Did I tell you how much I love aquatic landscape ? I love the sea, the lakes, the pools, the rivers…Beyond the naturally beautiful landscape, I find solace in water, whether it's sea, pool, lake or river. Water landscape is for me the best antidepressant.
I grew up in Dakar peninsula and we have wonderful beaches. My love of seascape come from my father. As far as I remember, most of our excursions was near the sea. I remember how he used to carry my sister on his neck, and take me by my hand walking on Hann's bay. I also have the images of us eating seafood at Almadie Beach, or just walking along the west coast of Dakar, visiting Lagon 1 and Lagon 2 places.
If I always loved seascape, horizon and unique sea views, I used to stay away from the water. Never a foot in a pool even less in the sea. I was deeply afraid of what could happen once inside the water because of two stories.
The first is one of my deepest memories. I was walking with my dad at the beach of Golf when he lost his shoes in the water. I still wonder if this story is real, if it's a nightmare or if my mind of child had exacerbated my emotions. However, My Dad have no trace of this story. The Golf Beach was known to be one of the most turbulent. And that day the sea was very rough. I have in mind the images of my Dad running and going deeper and deeper in the sea. I could see him running in the middle of the waves until he disappeared … The time between his "disappearance" and his reappearance in the middle of the waves with his shoes seemed to me an eternity, an eternity where I was convinced that the waves had swallowed him forever.
The second story is THIS movie. My parents used to watch THIS movie called Jaws. Do you know THIS movie called Jaws? I am sure the elders remember! And just hearing the tittle of the movie scare some of them. Jaws is one of Steven Spielberg's blockbuster thriller. The first part was released in 1975, followed by 3 other sequels. The star of the movie or let me say the terror of the movie? A shark!!! Huge, with gigantic jaws. The background music of the movie announcing the arrival of the shark was just terrorizing. The story? A shark who attacks all the beachgoers. If my memories are exact, the Scary Shark even attacked peoples in a pool! A pool! You imagine a shark in a pool?
I am a big fan of horror movies but this one was too realistic.
And of course that's how I had during years this extreme fear of the sea. I remember that I even didn't put a finger in the sea; just sit quietly and watch was enough. I still have the voice of my dad trying to convince me that nothing will happen….. No way!
Years later, when we moved near the sea, I accepted to put one foot in the water, then the other foot and then slowly started to enjoy fully swimming ; my fear of the water finally totally disappeared.
Jaws?? I have not seen the movie since and I wonder if I can watch this movie again.

My barbie had been waiting for the day to go trick or treat and she enjoyed herself with her bucket of pumpkin. Even more so, she was enjoying after the fact with all the goodies. Her first dentist appointment is in two weeks, we'll see how she does!
Last year, we set up our cameras and took photos of trick or treaters in our neighborhood. This year we weren't planning on doing so because we both came down with a cold. But after opening our door for a few times to pass out the candies, we were surprised to find this group of trick or treater that remembered us from last year and asked us if we were taking pictures this year! We said we weren't planning on doing so, but since they had asked, lifted our sickness, and TT told them alrity, hang on, he certainly can do that again! They waited and had their pictures taken! If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have captured the spirits of the night. And we glad we did!
So our Barbie and penguin were hanging out with their baby cousins and when they came back, Barbie didn't look happy b/c I ended up not going with her, I stayed back to pass out the candies while TT took photos. Barbie even asked how come I didn't go with her. I know!
Here she is, disguised in her rarely seen 'unhappy' Barbie costume:
For those that might wonder why we do this, because as parents ourselves, we try to capture everything that our kids do. We thought we would be able to do this for our neighbors so everyone can enjoy saving the memories! It was nice to see everyone, and with your support, we'll try to continue providing this fun service! Please spread the words to your neighbors so we can see more faces next year!

Right here we start with the fundamentals of cooking. Pre-heat your Discipline skillet over low-medium warmth for up to 5 minutes — watch out, you don't need the pan getting too hot. You can also pop" amaranth like corn; simply preheat a pot or skillet over excessive warmth (have to be highly regarded), and add amaranth seeds one or two tablespoons at a time (adding too many seeds at once could cause them to burn).
Cook with contemporary complete meals as much as possible, and use herbs, spices and vinegar to add taste with out adding sodium. There are additionally many quick-cooking grain aspect-dishes available on the market, even including ninety-second brown rice. Place potatoes within the pan, then place the pan on the oven heart rack.
This components works as a superb start line whether or not you're utilizing regular pasta, whole wheat pasta, gluten-free pasta, rice-based pasta, or pretty much any other kind of pasta. Stand cooked rice for five minutes then uncover carefully and fork by way of the grains.
Typically, except I'm following a selected recipe, I favor to cook the pasta in water after which prepare dinner the sauce pot-in-pot above the pasta. Add your chosen veggies, cowl the pot, and cook dinner every veggie in response to its beneficial steaming time. After the steaks are seared, reduce the heat to moderately sizzling to sizzling and proceed cooking the steaks to a desired doneness using the timing options within the chart beneath.

MUSIC: Jamie Funk
At a time when House music seems so freakin' popular that everyone has forgotten they hated it back in 2009, when they were busy jumping around to Dubstep; one man will tell you that was never the case with him. His name is Jamie Funk, and even though on paper he seems relatively new to the music scene, he has been involved in dance music as far back as the early nineties. His carefully crafted strand of Deep House has seen him gain regular releases on the House label 1trax – part of the MN2S label group – and also sees him play at parties all around Europe. Jamie talks exclusively to Ventsmag about how the music scene has changed over the years and how having a record producer for a father helped develop his technical skills in the studio.
You seem to have a good consistency with production and releases. How do you keep things interesting and exciting? Have you ever had low points when you're lacking inspiration?
Well, I tend to write a heck of a lot of tunes for one, sometimes I may start at least 5 tracks in a week and maybe only be happy with one of them. The ratio of tracks that actually make it for release is very small compared to what gets put out, this is something I've been trying to sort out over the years in terms of getting more stuff finished. I get very bored of tracks easily so I tend to be working on about 6 tracks at once, slowly tweaking them to fit. Some tracks just come together really quickly and you've got most of the track done in a few hours or a day, then its all about the mix down, while other tracks can take weeks or months to finish.
Yeah I do lack inspiration sometimes and it can get you down. When that happens I like to take a break and maybe go out partying somewhere, hear a DJ I'm into, then get some vibes from what I hear or visit friends and check out what they are listening to. Or, I usually go out painting graffiti (my other main passion) around London – strictly legal of course! I've been painting graffiti for well over 20 years now and love it just as much as music.
Everybody has their own way of gaining inspiration and mine normally comes from hearing new quality music that I like or generally feeling good about myself in everyday life.
Your father was a very successful record producer for artists such as Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe. How did growing up around someone who was heavily involved in music draw you into producing your own stuff?
My dad and a lot of his mates were all musicians or producers/engineers, so I was very lucky to be around that environment from an early age. I didn't start making my own music until around 2002/2003 and unfortunately dad had left the music business quite a while before that so I didn't spend too much time in studios with him as a young adult. I wanted to write music for years before I actually got off my arse and bought some equipment to do so. I used to hang out with Donna Dee of UK Garage fame when I was around 17 and help her with the Garage tunes she was making at the time. I knew I wanted to do music, I just never had the money for equipment as it was all so expensive in those days.
When I started making my own stuff, my dad helped me massively in terms of production skills and rhythm; he showed me how to use compressors and EQs and generally how to get a nicer soundscape and mixdown. He has an amazing ear and whenever I play him my tracks he can pick out something that could be better, it could be an EQ boost or something that needs to be panned more. 95% of the time he's right, you can only get that kind of ear with experience.
You started out in music, playing on pirate radio stations in the 90s.What would you say are the biggest differences in the dance music scene these days compared to back then?
Music in general is a lot more accessible nowadays. In the 90s, for me it was all about going to Black Market or Lucky Spin to get music, usually made by a UK producer or DJ, especially early jungle, now I don't need to leave my house to get the weeks new music. The scenes were very small in those days compared to now, in my opinion it is definitely better now. As a producer you can have fans and people that like your music all over the world, without having to actually leave your bedroom and go anywhere..
The first single with your collective 'Kameleon' is called 'Confetti', and it was released recently on 1trax . How did you decide to start making music together as a collective?
We've all been close mates for over 10 years now, but basically in terms of production and in terms of Kameleon we got together during the early Minimal House/Techno sound circa 2006/2007. I was making House on my own, Si was doing the DnB stuff and Nic & Kaleb were playing in Ibiza every summer. Gradually over the years, as the sound has become more housey, we've come together through a love of this progression. It started by spending Friday nights on a social vibe in each others' studios and it just went from there to start our own thing. We're still trying to find our sound as we like a lot of different styles of dance music.
Simon from the Drum n Bass group 'Vicious circle' is a member of the collective. How did having a producer who was part of such a successful production group influence the direction of the music?
Well I wouldn't say Si influences the direction of the music strictly, but he definitely brings a great dynamic and perspective to the making of our music overall. Drum and Bass is naturally made differently to House – you know, technically. There are more loops, live drum breaks and samples. There aren't so much in House. Si definitely is a vital part of our thing though, we all in our nature bring a different element. I mean, Nic and Kaleb are wicked DJs and me and Si are predominantly producer/engineers as well as DJs.
What sets do you have lined up for this summer?
You can catch us all playing at various parties this summer around Europe. Nic & Kaleb are Zoo Project residents in Ibiza.

The Good , The Bad and The Queen
Monday 12th March 2007
Head out to meet one of my favourite London girls Serena Rees from Agent Provocateur and Mark Palmen. Damon Albarn and Paul Simenon's new supergroup The Good, The Bad and The Queen were playing at Webster Hall. It was almost Serena's birthday so we celebrated with cake, champagne and Myers rum ( they don't mix too well I later discovered). Damon was busy over the kettle backstage steaming his new top hat from " Toffs 'r ' Us " .
Met the Nigerian drumming genius Tony Allen in a gorgeous black flocked shirt, and ageless Jim Jarmush turned up.

The wonderful dancers presented on this blog and I would love to share this show with as many people as possible. It is important not only as a re-imagining of a classic greek myth, but also as a remaking of a dance company's model. Lourdes Lopez, artistic director, and Luca Veggetti, resident choreographer, have created a spellbinding show! More information below!

Yusha Loves Everyone's Individuality.
Yusha Marie-Sorzano is originally from Trinidad, she received her primary instruction from New World School of the Arts, The Miami Conservatory, and The Dance Theater of Harlem. She attended the Ailey/Fordham BFA Program and in her junior year was invited to join Ailey II. She has been a member of Complexions Contemporary Ballet, The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and TU Dance under the direction of Toni Pierce-Sands and Uri Sands. Ms. Sorzano has performed works by Ulysses Dove, Mauro Bigonzetti and Ron K Brown as well as with recording artists Wynton Marsalis, Beyonce Knowles, and Rihanna. She was a guest artist on Dancing with the Stars and has most recently starred as the lead dancer in the independent film "You Me and The Circus". When not performing Ms. Sorzano enjoys teaching both nationally and internationally.
When did you first begin dancing?
I started dancing soon after moving to the states from Trinidad at about 9. I am a product of the public school magnet program and took my first ballet class in a tiny studio attached to the cafeteria. It wasn't very pretty and smelt like tater tots.
What style of dance do you prefer and why?
I can't really answer that question. Each style offers something unique. However, I will not deny that at the end of the day there is nothing like an old school jazz combination…..pure satisfaction!
Who have you worked with in the past?
As far as concert dance I have danced with Ailey II, Complexions, The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and Morphoses. In addition, I have done some work commercial work with Beyonce, Rihanna, and was a guest artist on Dancing with the Stars. My career has been a pretty mixed bag. It keeps me on my toes
Who do you aspire to work with in the future?
Not sure at present. As long as it inspires me I am on board.
Being a freelance dancer, how do you earn your living, ie: do you have side jobs or skills you utilize for income?
I teach modern and contemporary classes as often as possible. It's pretty awesome to be on the other side of the room. I tend to pick up new ways of approaching the art form when I have to use my words to explain it. It's also really inspiring when someone gets "it" for the first time.
Have you attended college or another kind of training? What/where?
I am an alum of The Ailey/Fordham BFA Program.
What is the most challenging thing about your career?
Staying in shape during the in between.
What do you feel and think when you're on stage?
See Billy Elliot's response in the film, Billy Elliot, when asked what he feels when he dances. I think that sums it up!
How do you keep yourself motivated and maintain creative thinking during your off time?
I find that I maintain motivation through unpredictability. I try not to plan too much or get stuck in a routine. Don't get me wrong; routine is what makes a dancer. I just find it thrilling to not know where I may end up at day's end.
What is the most valuable advice you have received from a teacher or mentor?
Everyone's body is different. You have to do what works for you. I like to apply this statement to my career as well
What element, theme, or character from the Bacchae do you relate to most?
Not sure, though I am continually challenged by Agave
What is the best/funniest/most challenging experience of the rehearsal process thus far?
The best: New faces, sensibilities, and artistry
The funniest: That's a tough one…it changes daily.
The most challenging: Staying true to the work while still learning the vocabulary. It takes a second to understand how a choreographer works. What their likes and dislikes are. I find it challenging to balance what is asked of me with what I want to say as an artist. We are the vessel for Luca's language. So it's important to be clear about what we are trying to convey.

Every Step You Take- a review
To readers, I am honored to have been found by an editor at Harper Collins to review Jock Soto's new book. You will see my official review below, but the unofficial review is that I would love to meet this man. He presents himself so positively and in service of the art form. It is truly a must read.
Every Step You Take
Jock Soto with Leslie Marshall
New York: Harper Collins, 2011
271 pp, $24.99
Review by Brittany Fridenstine-Keefe
Jock Soto's memoir, written with Leslie Marshall, comes out today. Entitled, "Every Step You Take," the book is a charming homage to an inspiring male dancer who dedicated more than two decades dancing at the New York City Ballet.
Jock Soto is part Navajo Indian, and part Puerto Rican. His first encounter to dance was in the form of Indian Hoop dances. After seeing Edward Villella on the Ed Sullivan show, Mr. Soto was determined to learn more about formal western dance genres. His family is an inspiration in the sacrifices and support they offered to enable his study of dance. Mr. Soto's pursuit of training led him to the School of American Ballet, New York City Ballet's official school, and a separation from his parents at a young age.
Much of the book is Jock's tribute to his deceased mother. Perhaps this is the meaning behind the title. Perhaps he still feels a connection to her as he serves dance. His family was a part of his dance despite distance. Although positive in his reflections, his separation from his roots is an underlying theme. Simultaneously, he acknowledges his need for space and a connection to who he is.
Personally, he recounts growing up in the gay community in the 80s. Mr. Soto reflects on his growth as an individual through each of the relationships; doubly as he witnessed the AIDS epidemic tearing apart his community. Working hard and playing hard, Mr. Soto ran in the circles of many prominent art figures, including a close relationship with Andy Warhol.
Mr. Soto's career was an embodiment of the American dream; he was quickly and easily promoted to a leading dancer at NYCB. He shares his is appreciation of his many ballerinas including: Lourdes Lopez, Heather Watts, Wendy Whelan, Stephanie Saland, and Miranda Weese. As he recounts these relationships, he shares numerous human moments from behind the scenes. Mr. Soto worked in a magical time when the work of George Balanchine, Lincoln Kirstein, and Jerome Robbins was well established and inspired. The New York dance scene was supportive and at the nexus of the form.
Throughout the book, Jock presents himself humbly. When
magazine voted him one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World", he shrugged it off stating his merit was merely to fill a performing arts quota. But he doesn't take himself lightly; he remains focused on his mission as a dancer. Mr. Soto recounts the fleeting moments of a life onstage and the struggle to keep each performance alive. Before each performance, Mr. Soto would say, "it is going to be a different story tonight." Therein lies his dedication to "every little step" he took.
Throughout the book Mr. Soto shares recipes, which correlate to his growth. He keeps his aplomb as he comically recalls using Gorgonzola in a tiramisu, but clearly cooking has become a new creative passion. A vehicle to meld his creativity with entertainment and invest in the people he cares about. He continues to service the field as a teacher at the School of American Ballet.
Jock Soto is an important male figure in the ballet world. As such his memoir, "Every Step You Take," is a refreshing and inspiring account for any artist living their mission.

Brandon Cournay 'chassé ball changes' from Julliard to become a dancer at Kegwin + Company and Morphoses!
Brandon Cournay is originally from Detroit, Michigan. He has danced with the Mark Morris Dance Group, and Kegwin + Company Extended. Brandon has performed the repertoire of Twyla Tharp, Ohad Naharin, Lar Lubovich, and Nacho Duato. Brandon has also performed in th
Radio City Christmas Spectacular
and has appeared in commercials for Puma and Target. Brandon received his BFA from The Juilliard School.
You can see him in action at the Joyce Oct 24-30th in
production of Bacchae.
Additionally, follow his adventures through his social media links:
When did you first begin dancing?
I have been chassé ball changing since I was ten years old. I signed up
to do a musical theatre camp at my school and after that, I was hooked.
I became obsessed with my teacher's Capezio jazz sneakers... So, I
talked my parents into getting me a pair. You better believe I wore them to
school, no shame.
What style of dance do you prefer and why?
I prefer anything that is physical, organic, and inspiring.
Who have you worked with in the past?
I am having this really cool journey performing in both commercial
and concert dance. Professionally, I've worked with the Chase Bock
Experience, Mark Morris Dance Group and I'm currently dancing with
Keigwin + Company.
While in school, I had the honor of working on creations with Matthew
Neenan, Nicolo Fonte, and Larry Keigwin. When we would learn pieces for
our repertoire concert choreographers such as, Mark Morris, Lar Lubovich,
and Ohad Naharin all came in to help set and coach their pieces that we
were performing. It was such an amazing experience to learn and work
with the creators of such brilliant works.
Who do you aspire to work with in the future?
I'm really inspired my choreographers such as Aszure Barton, Crystal Pite,
Peter Chu, Hofesh Shechter.
I want to work with anyone that is really pushing the envelope in dance.
I'm really interested in working with anyone who is creating something
inventive, imaginative, and accessible.
Being a freelance dancer, how do you earn your living, ie: do you have side jobs
or skills you utilize for income?
Teaching and choreographing are what I consider my 'side jobs.' I really
enjoy it though, so I rarely consider it work. Which is cool.
I also judge for dance competitions on the weekends.
Have you attended college or another kind of training? What/where?
I received my BFA from Juilliard in 2009.
What is the most challenging thing about your career?
I'd have to say the most challenging aspect of my career is living a
balanced lifestyle... in sort of a "work hard/play hard" kind of way. As
artists we are constantly on, constantly learning and exploring; sometimes
whether we like it or not. Specifically for freelancers self-motivation is
vital, our schedule and intentions change daily. It's easy to cram your self-
planned day with tons of classes, auditions, and rehearsals to benefit
your work and not take anytime for yourself... And vice-versa. It took me a
long time to learn that taking a little time for yourself can benefit your work
inside the studio tremendously.
It took me a long time to learn that guilty feeling of skipping your 10am
ballet class to go see the new Twilight movie will soon go away. I stress
the time in this scenario because we all know that movie tickets are only
$6.00 if you go before noon. Paying for a full priced movie ticket as a
freelancer in New York emphasizes the obvious and biggest challenge that
plagues us all... Finances.
What do you feel and think when you're on stage?
On stage, I try to sensitize my whole body as much as possible. I like to
pretend I'm performing in a theatre that's 360 degrees around and that the
audience is seeing me at every possible angle. Even if the choreography
has a specific direction, to me there is no front. I want to know and feel
what my leg bones, arm muscles, ribs, fingers, eyes...etc. are doing at all
times, wherever they are in space. When I bring awareness to my whole
body I feel I am able to communicate better as an artist. It's no longer
about executing steps physically, but about how I am using my instrument,
my entire body to embody and enhance the artistry of the work.
How do you keep yourself motivated and maintain creative thinking during your
off time?
I like to see a lot of dance. I think it's important to educate yourself on what
you like and what you don't... and more importantly, WHY you like or don't
like something.
I also listen to music a ton, the little dancer in my head is constantly
improving to something up there.
What is the most valuable advice you have received from a teacher or
Risa Steinberg, one of my mentors at Juilliard, was talking about
evaluating feedback about your work. She said that if someone loves your
work... awesome, if someone absolutely hates your work... awesome, but
the problem comes when someone leaves the theatre without having an
opinion of your work. I thought that was a very interesting statement.
What element, theme, or character from the Bacchae do you relate to most?
I relate most to the ever evolving pace and flow of the Bacchae.
As well as the inspiration of the work, always looking forward to try
something new.
What is the best/funniest/most challenging experience of the rehearsal process
thus far?
Best- Creating with such amazingly talented, diverse, and inspiring artists
everyday. It's been an honor to work and learn from such an eclectic group
of dancers.
Funniest- Karaoke night!
Most challenging- Scooting up the stairs. At the Vineyard my thighs were
so sore, I could barely walk!

Morphoses dancer, Gabrielle Lamb, shares her thoughts.
Photo by Ken Kramer
Gabrielle Lamb
Gabrielle Lamb is a native of Savannah, Georgia, and was trained at the Boston Ballet School. She joined Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal in 2000 and was promoted to soloist in 2003. Since 2009, she has been living in New York City and performing with Morphoses and Pontus Lidberg Dance. Her repertoire includes principal roles in works by George Balanchine, Christopher Wheeldon, Peter Quanz, Jiri Kylian, Mats Ek, Ohad Naharin, and Nacho Duato. She has also created leading roles in new works by Shen Wei, Stijn Celis, Pontus Lidberg, and Mauro Bigonzetti, among others.
Ms. Lamb is also a choreographer as well a self-taught video artist and animator. You can see some of her videos
For more information go to Gabrielle's
personal website.
When did you first begin dancing?
I started dancing when I was 4, but hated it because the tights were so annoying
to put on. So I quit and then restarted the next year.---somehow I got over the
tights issue.
What style of dance do you prefer and why?
I prefer any kind of dance which originates with the intention to communicate and
connect. The more I learn, the less interested I am in virtuosity for its own sake.
I want to be able to let go and become someone else onstage, not to spend
those precious moments worrying about steps.
Who have you worked with in the past?
I've been lucky enough to work with a lot of talented choreographers and stagers
in the past. Some of those are: Natalia Makarova, Sylvie Guillem, Mats Ek,
Ohad Naharin, Christopher Wheeldon, Shen Wei, Peter Quanz, Stijn Celis,
Pontus Lidberg….not to mention all the fantastic dancer colleagues who have
inspired me over the years.
Who do you aspire to work with in the future?
Other artists who open new pathways in my mind, no matter what discipline they
belong to. A dream list might include Crystal Pite, William Kentridge, Robert
Lepage, Michel Gondry.
Being a freelance dancer, how do you earn your living, ie: do you have side jobs
or skills you utilize for income?
I choreograph and teach sometimes. I am also a self-taught filmmaker and
animator. I worked as the company videographer for Les Grands Ballets
Canadiens when I was still dancing there, and I've also done work for Morphoses
and BalletX. I'm preparing for a project with the Dance Theatre of Harlem.
Have you attended college or another kind of training? What/where?
No. I've taken a few classes in film, but generally I prefer teaching myself.
What is the most challenging thing about your career?
Keeping a sense of the long-term. It's too easy to get crazy about a small injury
that may be gone in two days---or a temporary lack of work---or the challenges of
learning new choreography. What seems impossible today often improves
overnight, so I've had to learn to back off being so rough on myself when I can't
have what I want straight away.
What do you feel and think when you're on stage?
If I'm in the space I'd like to be in, I feel like time slows down and I can be
fearless. In the best moments I'm very conscious of the sensations in my body,
and I imagine being able to communicate those sensations to the audience. It's
like there's a line of communication that runs underneath the floor of the stage
and branches out to every seat in the house. If I'm not quite there, then I'm just
judging and chastising myself and thinking about what just happened or what's
about to happen 5 seconds from now. And I imagine that on those occasions the
audience feels somehow less connected as well.
How do you keep yourself motivated and maintain creative thinking during your
off time?
I don't have much off-time. I always seem to have some project to work on or
think about. On the less fun side, there is always email to reply to or scheduling
to do.
I do yoga every day, and unless I"m really on vacation, I take ballet class at
least 5 days a week.
What is the most valuable advice you have received from a teacher or mentor?
I was feeling envious of another artist's talent----and despair of ever being able to
approach her accomplishments. I expressed this to a friend and fellow dancer,
who wrote to me,
"Use her journey as a template for what you want, the beauty of being
yourself and expressing it to your full ability"…
This really made an impression on me---it reminded me to stay on my own path
and follow it as far as I can, and not to get hung up thinking I'm on the same path
as any other single person.
What element, theme, or character from the Bacchae do you relate to most?
I do an improvisation which is composed of asymmetrical arm movements which
evolve into symmetry. When I'm asymmetrical, my attention is very fragmented,
and when I achieve symmetry I become more focused, as though I'm making
a new connection between already existing ideas in my mind. This for me is an
interesting physical expression of the way that consciousness and creativity
work: disconnected streams of thought which with practice can become focused
and aligned.
What is the best/funniest/most challenging experience of the rehearsal process
thus far?
The best part of the experience thus far has been working with a group in which
every single person has something truly special and different to offer. I've been
working a long time, and I can say that it's pretty rare to be in a group where I
can watch and be inspired by everybody. Every day in class and rehearsals I
see coordination and phrasing that I'd like to steal and try to make work on my
own body.

Today the 2nd stage of the Queenscliffe sport and recreation facility was finished and opened thanks to funding of $3.35m from the State Government.
The previous State Labor Government funded stage 1 in 2007 and now with the completion of stage 2, a Labor Government has finished what it started.
Stage 2 includes new lights for the football oval, new netball courts and game day facility, a gymnasium and cricket nets. These upgrades ensure a modern sporting precinct to cater for football, cricket and netball,
The State Government fully funded stage 1 and now this stage with a small contribution from the Borough of Queenscliffe.
The funding package is part of the Andrews Government's strong commitment to sports and active recreation, enabling and encouraging all Victorians to get out there and get active.
Across Victoria we've invested more than $420 million in community sport and recreation facilities, and earlier this year provided almost half a billion dollars in the Victorian Budget 2018/19 to support sport and active recreation at all levels.
Quotes attributable to Member for Bellarine, the Hon Lisa Neville MP
"I have been proud to secure all the government funding to rebuild facilities for football, cricket and netball."
"The netballers were playing on below par courts and operating out of a very poor excuse for a game day facility. "
"I congratulate the entire club led by President Damian Waight and his predecessors, including life time club stalwart Bill Comerford and his wife Peggy"
"These new facilities will provide the Couta Netball club with the facilities they deserve and that will ensure they can continue to grow in coming years,"

Five ways you can be a more active vegan in 2016
As the glitter dust settles on the New Year and we promise ourselves 2016 is going to be the best yet, perhaps our thoughts have turned towards our animal friends. Maybe one of your new year's resolutions is to do more to help. Your decision to go vegan already makes you a hero for our fur buds out there; there is nothing more powerful than making a statement with your plate.

5 facts about animal cruelty
Tomorrow we'll be heading along to the annual WEEAC event at Ceres here in Melbourne. WEEAC stands for Worldwide Events to End Animal Cruelty with the aim of joining together people and organizations, to work united as one loud voice across the world, to raise awareness to those individuals who quietly have no idea the extent of the horrors animals suffer on a daily basis.

Melbourne Cup: please reconsider
As we wade knee-deep into the gaudy parade of sparkle and spending that is the Spring Racing Carnival, there are many reasons animal lovers (not just vegans) should reconsider taking part in the spectacle.

When I decided to take the next step from vegetarian to vegan four years ago, cutting out the food was a cinch. I set a date to make the transition (it was August 1 which is great because I have a date to celebrate my veganniversary on each year) and I used up or passed on to my housemate all of my nonvegan items by then.
