Gallery Stroll – October 2010
Sure, businesses open up all the time, but art galleries take a special risk during times of financial hardship. Art is usually purchased with disposable income, and let’s be honest, who has disposable income anymore? To fight the good fight, you have to be creative, and these galleries are taking risks and setting new rules. … read more
Bellyography – October 2010
In the world of Middle Eastern dance, Meada is definitely one of a kind. She has been involved in the Salt Lake dance community for almost 20 years, and in that time, she has managed to not only stay with the same teacher for 17 years, but has danced with the same troupe for 16 years. Meada is dedicated to the dance and loyal to those with whom she performs—admirable qualities to have in an often fickle and changing environment such as belly dancing. … read more

The White Rectangle–Modern Dance as . . . Modern:
A...
Just last week Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company got its 2010/2011 season off to an energetic start with a presentation of Configurations. This show included pieces by four different choreographers, working on either the regional or international level. Though the audience could have been larger on Thursday, the enthusiasm of the crowd—for Ririe-Woodbury specifically, and modern dance in generally—was unmistakable, and it’s hard not to catch the same spirit. … read more

With Disney’s upcoming release, the amount of TRON merchandise gearing up to hit the streets is surging, and my anticipation is bursting through the seams of my plaid skirt. … read more

Gallery Stroll – September 2010
Time to go back to school. If the calendar hasn’t told you, the temperature change or fall foliage could be your sign. My experience is that once September hits, as much as I love summer, I’m so fried with all the BBQs and festivals that I need time to refocus and apply myself. In the spirit of trying new things and bettering one’s self, I personally recommend a course on fine art taught by the Continuing Education Department at the School of Life. … read more

Bellyography: Rebecca
One of the most difficult aspects of any artistic endeavor is having the ability to open yourself to your audience. Shy by nature, Rebecca has learned to use dance to communicate the rich beauty of her spirit. Her level of trust expands with every solo performance, and the audience is allowed more and more into Rebecca’s lush and vivid inner landscape. … read more
