when do I get to go to Iceland?


photo taken by Sarah from Saipua when she was in the botanical garden in Reykjavík.








photos taken by Florence Nicol and her husband, Simon Thisse, on their trip to Iceland this year. Very cool and fun photos, thanks for sharing them! Love the colourful balloons and the running in white bathrobes in the icelandic light night!
Makes me want to do the same, I want to play too!
To see the rest of the album you will just have to become friends with either Florence or Simon on facebook.

Akram Khan on a 'Vertical Road'




photos by John Ross

I'm thrilled to be seeing yet another choreography by Akram Khan. From the 6th to the 9th October at Sadlers Wells in London, Khan will be showing his latest performance 'Vertical Road'. Closely inspired from Sufi tradition and the persian poet and philosopher Rumi, he takes us on a road between the earthly and the spiritual.

'I died from minerality and became vegetable;
And from vegetativeness I died and became animal.
I died from animality and became man.
Then why fear disappearance through death?
Next time I shall die
Bringing forth wings and feathers like angels;
After that, soaring higher than angels -
What you cannot imagine,
I shall be that.'
(Rumi)
