It’s been amazing to experience the change over the last couple of days. Even last weekend, I was still collecting bright red Maple Leafs off trees, to use in creating more Maple Leaf rings. But this mighty wind sure has changed the…
It should be fitting that I wrote about live dance last time, and will talk about live music today. I love this fair city I have chosen as my second home, but sometimes I am appalled to find out certain…
I had the great thrill and pleasure to experience fantastic dance last night here in Halifax. Last night was the premier of “Henri Michaux: Mouvements”, the newest piece by internationally renowned Canadian choreographer Marie Chouinard. This piece is based on poems and…
Last Saturday, I was able to witness relaunch of Bluenose II in the UNESCO World Heritage Town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. We had to leave Halifax at 5am to make it in time for the early morning launch. There was…
