Ha ha, fooled you! Shares tumble over G4S fake website profit warning
Story in the Grauniad today reporting that G4S has been doing stuff at Guantanamo Bay - the usual chores that are too lowly for Real Soldiers like emptying the bins, but also "Custodial Services". But we're not to worry, as they have now sold off that part of the business.

Re: Real Programmers

My favourite was a huge lump of C code, translated from Fortran, that looked like this:
arguement = a;
b = sqrt(arguement);
arguement = b;
c = sin(arguement);
Yes, "argument" was spelt wrong throughout. Every function call took arguement as its argument. And it was a global variable! "Thread safe? What's that?"

"Investing in the long-term future of our industry" might be, for example, giving the money to some good universities to spend on research, or on training the next generation of smarties. This, in contrast, is just a load of people who are good at buzzword bingo.

Amazon S3. Bandwidth and storage charges really are "pay for what you use". There is nothing to "provision".

Warrantless phone snooping HAPPENS ALL THE TIME in Blighty
"Terrifying abuse of power"? Uh, no. The "abuse of power" was that these police officers, who the law normally considers to be "witnesses of the truth" if they appear in court, conspired to lie with the intention of bringing down (part of) the government, and very nearly succeeded. This was about an argument between the government, who wanted to impose cuts or other changes on the police, and the police demonstrating to the government that "you can't mess with us".
Video: Dyson unveils ROBOTIC TANK that hoovers while you're out
Re: sounds neato
I also have a Neato. It's great, but I think we're probably a couple of generations from widespread use. The neato cleans well (and the recent stories about 1600W cleaners made me laugh - if this can manage on battery power, how can anyone need 1600W?). But no it can't pick up socks, it will tanlge on wires (and pull phones off shelves), and it won't get close to walls or corners. Actually this has made me a more tidy person than I was before - it has trained me! I certainly prefer to spend a few seconds picking things up and maybe moving furniture a bit, rather than actually pushing a hoover around. As a result my house is both tidier and cleaner than it was before.
Apple 'fesses up: Rejected from the App Store, dev? THIS is why
Re: Quality Over Quantity

Do you mean as a consumer or as a developer?
As a developer, the danger of such an environment is that you might create something good, but not quite good enough to reach this "top 100". So you don't take the risk, and code for iOS and Android instead. As a result, consumers don't get the apps that they wanted.

Or agua. But no, it's always feminine; it is always "el agua fria", not "el agua frio". It is just el/la that changes, to avoid the awkward a-a. The equivalent in french is changing le or la to l' when the noun starts with a vowel.

That used to be the case for me, but it has changed over the last few years. Now, after filtering, the spam that gets to my inbox is primarily from "legitimate" companies that I have done business with in the (distant) past and who have at some point "forgotten" that I didn't want to be spammed. I'm unlikely to sue them, but there is no chance that they will ever get any business from me in the future.

Re: 94.6 bits

Well, for example, one decimal digit stores log2(10) = 3.322 bits of information.
So you could say that a 10-digit decimal number is "33.22 bits".
Look up "Arithmetic Coding" for one practical application of fractional bits.

Australian government apps access smartmobe cams but 'don't film you'
There is a lot to be said for asking the user for permission at the time when the app first wants to use the feature, rather that doing it all up-front. If you go to the (fictional) "send photo of rash to doctor" page, you'll understandwhy it now asks for permission to use the camera. A second best would be to let the user be selective about those permissions at the time of installation. As it is, the user will just click whatever they have to click in order to start using the app.

Re: What has the EU been smoking?
> As a proportion of income, the poor pay many times in VAT what the rich do
"Many times" is a bit of an exaggeration; try "twice as much". See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15519727 and http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12111507 . The latter article makes the interesting observation that defining the poor as those with low incomes includes wealthy people loving off their savings, which skews this particular analysis.
For examples of really regressive taxes, look at national insurance and the council tax.

Boffins make noise about D-Wave chip: it seems quantum
Re: I don't get it.
On average, it clearly solves problems faster than a "brute force" search would.
But there are better non-quantum methods than brute force, e.g. simulated annealing. It is not clear whether this machine is faster than non-quantum annealing. This is hard to measure because both classical annealing and the quantum mechanism have randomness.
Another complicating factor is that the device is small, so everything is fast. The differences would be much more obvious in a machine that could handle larger problems.

He's been doing this since (at least) 2010. He has to pay a total of about £24,000, which works out at about £15 per day over 4 those years.
I'd say that he will write this off as a "cost of doing business", and continue to put aside a modest percentage of his income to cover any future fines.
But he'll keep his head down for the next year, to avoid any chance of that suspended sentence getting activated.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Downs owner looks for lifeline
Club asks court to maintain funding
The Manitoba Jockey Club is convinced the Selinger government is working with Red River Exhibition Inc. to bankrupt the horse-racing track operator and turn the track and its 52.6 hectares over to the Ex.
The jockey club, a non-profit group that owns and operates Assiniboia Downs, has gone to court to fight for its survival.
In documents filed in Court of Queen's Bench, the jockey club alleges the provincial government has decided to use a variety of illegal and improper means to cut funding to the track by more than 50 per cent in an effort to force the club to turn it over to the Red River Exhibition.
The jockey club said its proof is in a letter dated Jan. 30 that Finance Minister Stan Struthers sent the club, confirming details of the Red River Ex plan first reported that day in the Free Press.
"The contents of the (Struthers) letter confirmed that the plan adopted by Minister Struthers was designed to... (undermine) the (jockey club's) long-term financial stability," states the club's document filed in court.
The jockey club states that in two subsequent meetings with Struthers, on Jan. 31 and Feb. 28, he told the club its funding would be cut and it would be best if the Ex took over the track.
The jockey club has applied to the court for an interim ruling that would maintain funding agreements the club has with the province and the Manitoba Lotteries Corp., which provide the club with $9.5 million annually, until new arrangements can be finalized.
The allegations have not been proven in court.
The jockey club has owned and operated Assiniboia Downs since 1993. It owns the track and surrounding 130 acres, located adjacent to the Red River Ex property on the western edge of Winnipeg.
The province announced at the end of January it's considering a proposal for the Ex to take over the racetrack and surrounding land in exchange for a $5-million reduction in funding for the track's operation. It's believed the province intends to reduce the funding through cuts in the club's VLT revenue and parimutuel betting.
In an affidavit included in the jockey club's application, club CEO Darren Dunn states it appears Struthers and other members of the provincial government are working secretly to have the Ex take over the jockey club property at no cost.
"What has transpired has every appearance of decisions being made behind the scenes and out of the light of public transparency... designed to put (the jockey club) in the worst possible position financially," Dunn states in the court documents. "(Struthers') sole purpose seemed to be to assist (the Red River Ex) in acquiring a $70-million real estate asset without any compensation being paid."
An appearance in the uncontested-motions court Thursday was adjourned to Tuesday, when a government lawyer is to challenge the jockey club's application.
A spokesman for the province said it would not comment on the jockey club's legal action, but confirmed the government has told the club it intends to proceed with plans to cut an unspecified amount of funding.
The jockey club documents state the province cannot cut the club's VLT revenue, saying that source of funds is negotiated between the club and the Manitoba Lotteries Corp., an independent, arm's-length government agency.
The jockey club claims revenues from track betting are also guaranteed to the club through legislation that sets out steps that must be taken to change the funding formula -- steps the province has not taken.
Jockey club lawyer Jeff Rath told the court Thursday a ruling is urgent because the club fears it will be in serious financial difficulty once the budget details are announced April 16. The club wants a court ruling before that date.
"The Manitoba Jockey Club believes it is important that the legislature have the opinion of the Court of Queen's Bench in regards to the legality of budget measures that they are being asked to vote upon as an extremely pressing and urgent matter in the protection of the public interest," Rath told the court Thursday morning.
He said the jockey club would not comment on the legal action.
A source close to the jockey club said it only resorted to legal action because the government has repeatedly refused to meet with the club to consider its own plans to ensure the long-term financial security of the track.

Lovely location in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, but in a small side
street so it is nice and quiet. The rooms are lovely with the exposed
wall and slate tiled bathrooms. Staff were really helpful and
recommended places to eat and go see, and generally very friendly and
attentive. Fantastic location near all the bars and restaurants, and
about 5-7 min walk to the food market, and tube (metro) station. We
didn't use the swimming pool as we went in March (still too cold)
but it did look tiny. - Anonymous
Location is great: only a block away from Passeig de Gràcia and 2 blocks from Plaza Catalunya (which connects you to La Rambla). The same distance also applies to attractions such as Casa Batllo and Casa Mila. La Sagrada Familia is also within walking distance.
Yes, it is not visible because it is not a hotel. I don't think there is any problem in finding the place if you google map it beforehand (or you can look for Hotel St. Moritz, it's just beside it).The apartment is modern, simple and ver - Anonymous
The apartment was very contemporary and so was the rest of the building. The rooftop pool and sun bathing area had gorgeous views. We had our beds made everyday and bins emptied everyday which was very convenient. Half way through the week that we spent there, we also had 'deep cleaning' which we appreciated too. The fact that there was wifi was an extra bonus. - Anonymous
From the moment we stepped out of our taxi until the moment we left the hotel, the staff were attentive to all of our needs. The amenities were first class, and I especially enjoyed the full range of fitness and leisure activities: spa, gym, hydrotherapy pool and outdoor pool. The hotel's proximity to the subway, shops and local attractions were other positive factors. - Eva
Very large and comfort rooms; stuff speaks English and ready to help in each question/request - Haya
The location of the hotel is amazing. It's literally a 2 minute walk from Santa Maria Del Mar (1 of those minutes was spent coming down the stairs from our 3rd floor room). The room is great- a full aparment- kitchette complete with plates, pots, and pans. The staff is amazingly friendly. They told us all the hot spots to hit during our stay. Overall A+++! - Kristina
Good location, excellent accommodation, very clean; sister hotel nearby if any problems with 24hour reception; overall excellent! - Lauren
Location, location, location. As all the travel guides say, you must get one of the rooms with a tiny balcony overlooking the square. Fabulous ever changing show to watch from the room, not noisy during normal sleeping hours. In the heart of the old city, yet tucked away. We walked everywhere. Helpful, friendly, efficient staff. Great hot water. - Anonymous

Bo Pelini
Warinner on Nebraska's radar for offensive coordinator position
Feb 7, 2011, 8:00 AM EST
While unfounded rumors swirled last week about Tony Alford potentially moving on from South Bend, there seems to be some momentum behind the news that Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini is looking at Irish offensive line coach Ed Warinner as a potential hire for a soon-to-be vacant offensive coordinator position. The Lincoln Journal Star has…

THE RESET: One fiscal crisis gives way to anotherMarch 1, 2013 @ 10:29 am
(AP) - If you've missed the latest fiscal melodrama gripping our nation's capital, don't worry. Stay tuned. More nail-biting episodes are on the way.
Automatic government-wide spending cuts _ called a "sequester" in bureaucratic jargon _ of roughly $85 billion will start kicking in now that President Barack Obama and Congress have failed to meet a Friday deadline for striking a deal to avert or soften the reductions.
"The pain will be real," Obama told reporters, saying the impasse saddles Americans with "a series of dumb, arbitrary cuts."
The current budget crisis comes just two months after tense year-end negotiations yielded a New Year's Day deal keeping the government from plunging over a "fiscal cliff" of huge spending cuts and tax increases.
The next self-inflicted panic deadline is the March 27 expiration of stopgap legislation to fund the entire government.
"I'm hopeful that we won't have to deal with the threat of a government shutdown while we're dealing with the sequester at the same time," House Speaker John Boehner said Friday after a White House meeting between Obama and congressional leaders failed to produce a breakthrough.
Another deadline comes May 18, when legislation permitting the Treasury to borrow above the current $16.4 trillion debt limit runs out. Failing to raise it further threatens a first-ever default on the government's debt.
It took over 200 years for government borrowing, begun to help finance the Revolutionary War, to climb above $1 trillion, which it did in President Ronald Reagan's first term.
By Friday, the national debt stood at a whopping $16.61 trillion.
After the debt limit, another big deadline comes Oct. 1 when the government's new fiscal year begins. If new spending bills aren't passed by then for every department and agency, Congress must yet again pass emergency stopgap legislation.
It's no apocalypse, Obama said of the government sequester now taking hold. "It's just dumb."

London Marathon results 2014: David Weir misses out on record title after being edged out by Marcel Huq
The four-time London 2012 gold medallist had struggled with a chest infection
Sunday 13 April 2014
David Weir's bid for a record seventh title at the Virgin Money London Marathon ended in disappointment as Switzerland's Marcel Hug edged him out in a sprint finish.
The four-time London 2012 gold medallist did not quite have the strength to overhaul his rival in the closing metres as he finished one second adrift in second place.
But the 34-year-old Briton had struggled with a chest infection in the build-up and this performance suggested he was getting back to his best after enjoying a lighter season last year after his Paralympic exploits.
Weir came home in one hour 32 minutes and 42 seconds.
American Tatyana McFadden successfully defended her women's wheelchair crown, claiming a dominant victory just a month after winning a cross-country skiing silver medal at the Winter Paralympics in Sochi.
The 24-year-old crossed the line in a course record 1hr 45mins 11secs, more than a minute and a half clear of Swiss race Manuela Schar in second.

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO—International Hospitality Enterprises (IHE) has made staffing changes at three of its properties.
Alfredo Arroyo has been appointed general manager of Hotel El Convento in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, replacing Efrain Rosa as Rosa advances to his new role as hotel manager of the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel. Additionally, Jomarie Arturet has been named director of sales and marketing at Copamarina Beach Resort, in the seaside town of Guanica on Puerto Rico's southwestern coast.
"We're confident that Alfredo, Efrain and Jomarie's leadership experience and many years in the Caribbean hospitality industry will bring continued success to El Convento, Condado Vanderbilt, and Copamarina, respectively," said José M. Suárez, president of International Hospitality Enterprises.

We loved the food, went for lunch, the staff could not have been any nicer. They gave my friends each a complimentary to go cup of chai tea. We were thrilled!
This restaurant is unique, it's an Indian that's not an Indian, despite it not having many dishes I recognised on the menu, when I said I wanted a jalfrezi he said not a problem they would make it for me, sadly it wasn't actually like any jalfrezi I had ever had, it wasn't unpleasant but it wasn't what I expected....
This is a sibling restaurant to the Cedars in U district (Indian food, not the one on 43rd) and used to serve much better food for value than Cedars, but it has become somewhat like Cedars. Their food was good, but not good enough for the increase in price about a year or so ago. Still, it is one of...
I had come here alone for lunch and was really satisfied with quality of food and service.
During my second visit, we were a group of 14 people. They made seating arrangement for us within 10 minutes. We ordered most of the special dishes (veg & non-veg) served in the restaurant starting from starters, drinks, naan, curry, biryani and desserts....
Second trip to this restaurant was even better than the first, food wise. Everything was good - aloo golbi, chicken tikka masala, raita, garlic naan. We had rogan josh last time, which was also good. Neverending iced or hot chai. There was no wait, even on a Friday evening - this restaurant is run very efficiently. However, we did have...
Oh yeah, the butter chicken and chicken curry is some good stuff! They have a delicious complementary appetizer and dessert that is really good as well. There is limited seating outside, but we sat outside and had wonderful service. This place was great, I would recommend it and go back in a heartbeat.
Looks small on outside but seems to go on forever on the inside. Taste of India is a place rare combination of awesome food and exemplary customer service. Offer complimentary appetizer and dessert. would like to go back....!!!!!!
If you are missing Indian food in Seattle, look no further than Taste of India. Priced right, and will remind you of the home cooked meals.
Tried most veg and non-veg main dishes and was impressed by one and all.
I have been going to this place for years, and I always make sure to bring friends and family that has not been here. It is always busy, but the table turnover is pretty quick.
I almost always go for the mango curry, but everything is so delicious. Definitely go for the pesto naan and order extra chutney on the...
A group of us eats here every so often. I am not an expert on Indian food, so I don't "great" from "ordinary". Have a had variety of dishes myself, and sampled others. They are tasty, are made with fresh ingredients, and well presented. Service is good, too.

Pas de Deux Workshop [Workshops]
Ballet Long Island
Pas de deux is the art of partnering - a dance duet in which two dancers, typically a male and a female, perform ballet steps together. Four major areas of technique in pas de deux are promenades, lifts, turns, and jumps, although there are other areas as well. A promenade is when the lady takes a position on pointe and the man walks around her while holding on to her, thus making her turn. A promenade can be done in almost any position and may change positions during the course of its life. You may think that it is pretty simple to do a promenade, how hard can it be to walk around someone? However, the lady must be kept "on her leg" or on balance during the promenade, and this can be quite difficult. A lift is just what it says: The gentleman lifts the lady. The number of different lifts that can be done in ballet is almost limitless. A pair of dancers can do a "fish" where the lady is picked up from an arabesque position and folds her bottom leg up, then is swung back by the man so she makes a curve like a fish close to the ground, or they can do a présage where the lady is lifted in a similar position to the fish but to arm"s length over the gentleman"s head. These lifts are some of the most awe-inspiring moves in ballet and some of the most demanding. When doing turns with a partner it is normally the lady who does the turning, usually some sort of pirouette. When doing a normal pirouette with a partner the gentleman will be behind the lady and will stabilize her and sometimes help her to turn with his hands on her waist. By doing pirouettes this way a lady can do many more pirouettes than she would normally be able to do on her own. Jumps can be very fun, tiring, or scary depending on what kind of jump a couple is doing. Normal jumps where the lady is jumping and the gentleman is simply lifting her to make her go higher do not involve much risk, but can be tiring after a while. These jumps are normally used as a warm up in class and not performed on stage. Some of the more risky jumps would be more accurately described as catches. This would be where the lady jumps on her own into the arms of the gentleman. Probably the most dangerous of these jumps is a leap of faith; this is the jump when the lady takes off and turns in the air so that she will land on her head if the gentleman does not catch her. Such moves always bring a gasp from an audience. This Workshop is open to male and femal dancers ages 12 - adult $58 for 4 week workshop

With its long-running Once Upon a Ballet Series, New York Theater Ballet consolidates the classics into hour-long productions for the under-10 crowd and puts parents' minds at ease." – The New York Times Keith Michael's The Nutcracker – December 19-21, 2014 New York Theatre Ballet (NYTB) returns for a fourth year of Keith Michael's The Nutcracker, an enchanting holiday ballet. From clockwork imps to a luminous owl that flies above the audience, mice dressed in polka dots and dancers dancing with huge chopsticks, this timeless, re-imagined classic bursts with energy and excitement. This holiday ballet, danced to Tchaikovsky's beloved score, is set in Art Nouveau style circa 1907 with innovative choreography by long-time NYTB choreographer, Keith Michael, and costumes by Resident Costume Designer of the Metropolitan Opera, Sylvia Nolan. "One of the most kid-friendly around!" – The New York Times Cinderella – February 7-8, 2015 With a Dancing Clock, wacky Stepsisters and everyone's favorite princess, Cinderella features choreography by Donald Mahler, costumes by Metropolitan Opera's Resident Costume Designer, Sylvia Taalsohn Nolan and sets by Gillian Bradshaw Smith. Appropriate for girls and boys of all ages. GOOSE! – March 7-8, 2015 The wit, wisdom, and whimsy of a lively baker's dozen of Mother Goose characters. They literally leap from the page to the stage to stir the imagination of the young and the young-at-heart, just as they have for centuries! Carnival of the Animals – June 6-7, 2015 In a magical forest, Queen Diana and her shaggy lion rule a charming assortment of animals who live more or less peaceably until a pair of lost children wander in, and then the fun begins! Choreography by Beth Storey Taylor. "The most endearing and engaging part of the show happened … during a prelude led by the company's artistic director, Diana Byer. In an effort to acquaint young audiences with the behind-the-scenes work of putting on a ballet, Ms. Byer invited her animated production manager, Pepper Fajans, to demonstrate the meticulous art of marking the stage to indicate where props and dancers should go. This also served as a basic math lesson, as Mr. Fajans divided the floor into halves and quarters with bits of colored tape. Ms. Byer then ushered out five "dancing examples" (children from New York Theater Ballet's school) to show how this task helps to organize bodies in a given space. My 8-year-old companion never seemed more enthralled than when other kids her age arrived onstage, dutifully arranging themselves into a diagonal, a triangle, a square. Their simple, swift and spirited performance, more relatable than any fairy tale, was hard to top." – The New York Times ABOUT NEW YORK THEATRE BALLET New York Theatre Ballet (NYTB), founded in 1978 by artistic director Diana Byer, is the most widely seen chamber ballet company in the United States and has been hailed by The New York Times as "an invaluable company."

LEIMAY Ludus Lab with theater master Mario Biagini Associate Director of the Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards This LEIMAY Ludus Lab is open to actors, dancers, body-rooted performers, or anybody interested in exploring the elements of the actor's craft. Within the whole duration of this LEIMAY Ludus Lab taught by guest director Mario Biagini, participants will explore fundamental elements of the actor's craft such as organicity, relation, contact, impulse, intention, action and reaction, the relation between process and form, and strive towards an understanding of the difference between movement and action. Under the direction and guidance of Biagini, participants will work on the creation of individual and collective acting scenes, on singing ancient traditional songs, and learn elements of the physical training developed at the Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards over the past twenty-eight years. These modules will allow participants to approach the basic aspects of practical research at the Workcenter, and to discover their own individual and unique approach to creation. Modules will explore the basic but complex constitutive elements of the actor's craft: • Relation: precision / organicity • Relation: tradition / individual work • Relation: ritual / drama • Composed movement and rhythm • Singing • Vibration of the voice • Body resonators and spatial resonance • Awareness of space and reacting to its constituent elements • Improvisation: the impulses / the vigilant mind • Improvisation within a structure • Search for a precise line and logic of impulses and physical actions: the score Full Schedule: Monday January 12th-Saturday, January 17th 2015, 10:00AM - 6:00PM Detailed Schedule: Module 1: Singing and Organic Behavior: Jan 12, 13, 14, (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) 10:00AM - 2:00PM Module 2: Physical Training: Jan 15, 16, 17, (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) 10:00AM - 2:00PM Module 3: Intentional Action – Spontaneity and Structure Jan 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, Monday - Saturday afternoons, 3:00PM - 6:00PM Full Tuition: $756, Module 1 - $240, Module 2 $240, Module 3 $360 Online registration is required.

LEIMAY Ludus Lab with guest teacher Mari Osanai [Workshops]
LEIMAY Ludus Lab with butoh dancer Mari Osanai This LEIMAY Ludus Lab with guest dancer Mari Osanai is divided in three different modules: 1) Introduction to Noguchi Taizo Part One, 2) Noguchi Taizo Part Two, and 3) Movement Creation and Structure. Modules can be taken separately or together. However early registration and discounts are only open to those who plan on taking all the modules. This LEIMAY Ludus Lab is open to dancers, body-rooted performers, physical actors of all levels, ages, and capabilities. Within the whole duration of this LEIMAY Ludus Lab participants will explore fundamental elements of Noguchi Taizo (Noguchi Gymnastics). During the third module under the guidance of Osanai, participants will work on the creation of short individual and group pieces. Noguchi Taizo (Noguchi Gymnastics) was created in Japan by Michizo Noguchi (1914-1998) during the same period as butoh was being developed by Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno. The aim is to develop the uniqueness of each individual movement and to relieve any undue strain. Taizo means 'gym' in Japanese, but not in the conventional sense. As Osanai explains, "This technique has nothing to do with the swelling of the muscles nor resistance forces. The body learns to move in a certain way but is loose and fluid.

The Joffrey Ballet [Professional Performances]
Cal Performances
The Joffrey Ballet is celebrated for "wise casting, wickedly talented dancers, [and] world-class choreographers" (Berkeleyside). Son of Chamber Symphony by Stanton Welch, which premiered to rave reviews at Jacob's Pillow, is set to John Adams's restless score, and Alexander Ekman's West Coast premiere of the rambunctious Episode 31 opens to urgent, explosive rhythms before settling into a serene duet dance to a reading of Christina Rossetti's poem "Color." Val Caniparoli's abstract work Incantations is set to a score by Russian minimalist composer Alexandre Rabinovitch-Barakovsky, and continuous movement of the piece creates a zen-like spiral of movement and emotion.
"Sleeping Beauty" [Professional Performances]
Minnesota Ballet
The Minnesota Ballet presents a lush version of the fairy tale, set in a medieval kingdom deep in a primeval forest, where richly-costumed dancers light up a starkly imposing stone castle. All ends happily in a masked ball celebrating the wedding of Princess Rose and Prince Charmant, with characters from the Unicorn and the Lady to the Lion and the Lamb looking as if they have stepped from a medieval tapestry.
FirstWorks presents Soledad Barrio and Noche Flamenca [Professional Performances]
"There has been no company I have been so glad to discover as Noche Flamenca and, above all, its lead dancer, Soledad Barrio. I can think of no current ballet star in the world as marvelous as she." —Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times Sizzling flamenco electrifies the stage as this Madrid-based company of dancers, singers and musicians provides an authentic look at a fiery and expressive art form. Soledad Barrio & Noche Flamenca promise a passionate journey through the very heart and soul of flamenco. All aspects of flamenco – song, dance, and music – are interrelated, creating a true communal spirit among the group's ten performers. But Barrio is the indisputable star, a great artist without pretense, who makes you aware that, above its virtuosic feet, flamenco is an art of curves, arcs and circles. Her body is her soul's instrument, ensnared by the music, and you feel yourself fortunate to be in the same space with her. Tickets: $23-55 (Prices include $3 restoration fee)
