Rosas danst rosas

In 1983, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker had her international breakthrough
with Rosas danst Rosas.The fierceness of the movements is countered by
small everyday gestures. Rosas danst Rosas is unequivocally feminine: four
female dancers dance themselves, again and again. The exhaustion and
perseverance that come with it create an emotional tension that contrasts
sharply with the rigorous structure of the choreography.

Zoonation-Into the Hoods

Once upon a time in a land far, far away, two children ran away in search of
freedom but found themselves lost… in the hood.' Welcome to the Ruff Endz
Estate, the home of the vinyl spinning DJ Spinderella, and vivacious rapper
MC Rap-on-Zel, both of whom have caught the eye of D-List reality TV
celebrity Prince. Then there is Lil Red, a singer who has just signed a deal with
Wolf, the manager of Big Teef Records. She secretly has feelings for music
producer Jaxx (who lives in the Basement), who is struggling with debt, is late
on the rent and desperately avoiding the Landlord’s eviction notice. A
desperate Jaxx enters into some dodgy dealings with The Giant of Beanstalk
Towers, who lives in the Penthouse.
The children meet the Landlord, who sends them out to work for him with the
task of finding four gifts for his daughter, Rap-on-Zel’s 18th birthday. In
return he promises to see them out of the hood and provide them with a bus
ticket to get home safely. They only have 4 days to find: an iPhone as white as
milk, a hoodie as red as blood, weave as yellow as corn, and trainers as pure as
gold.

All That Jazz

In the 1920s she wrote the stage play Chicago (1926), about women accused of
murder, the press, celebrity criminals, and the corruption of justice. Her play
had a successful run on Broadway and international tour, during the roaring
twenties — the play was then adapted in the 1920s and 1940s for film. After
Watkins death in 1969, Chicago was adapted in 1977 as a successful Broadway
stage musical, which developed into an award-winning 2002 film version.
